Co-released by local labels Antiquated Future Records and Bud Tapes, the excellent debut from Portland's Babytooth is both quiet and loud, both a hello and goodbye, for now.
Co-released by local labels Antiquated Future Records and Bud Tapes, the excellent debut from Portland's Babytooth is both a hello and goodbye, for now. Read Ben Salmon's profile of the project before their album release show on Friday.
Babytooth creates a classic indie-pop-rock sound: fuzzy, jumbled, relentlessly catchy and emotionally raw. Think Pavement’s prickly guitars, Palehound’s sighing melodicism, Julie Doiron’s gentle intensity, with a healthy dose of quarter-life crisis and you’re at the right sweaty basement show—standing in the back, worried about waking up in the morning, and wondering just how long you can get away with this.

The Oregonian/OregonLive launched a new live streaming music show Thursday. The first show featured singer, songwriter and artist Isabel Zacharias.
Babytooth, Zacharias’ full-band project, draws from melodic early-aughts indie rock, while her solo work situates itself between lyric-driven folk and Casiotone bedroom pop. Babytooth’s first EP cassette, “Thataway,” was released by Portland’s Bud Tapes imprint in 2020 to positive reception from OPB Music and others, and Zacharias’ first solo effort is forthcoming with the tape label Antiquated Future in 2021.
“Thataway” is available for purchase at the Bud Tapes Bandcamp page, where a new Babytooth full-length is also set to appear whenever bands can record together in person again.
