Irish trio Adore have signed to Big Scary Monsters and today release ‘Show Me Your Teeth', a track fuelled by months of sleep deprivation, recurring nightmares, and the strange clarity that comes from staring fear in the face.
With just a handful of singles to their name, Adore have already drawn attention from key tastemakers across press (The Guardian, So Young Magazine, DIY Magazine, CLASH Magazine, Louder, The Line of Best Fit, Dork Magazine, Rough Trade, Nialler9) and radio (BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy at Radio X). ‘Show Me Your Teeth’ follows recent support runs with Chalk and Sprints, landing ahead of their first UK headline shows this month.
“Show Me Your Teeth was written during a period where I had nightmares every night for 5 months,” says guitarist and vocalist Lara Minchin. “These nightmares often lead to me waking up several times throughout the night, resulting in several nightmares with different, sometimes interwoven storylines. An ambivalence developed towards these nightmares which then translated into waking life.”
Working once again with producer and Gilla Band bassist Daniel Fox, 'Show Me Your Teeth' doesn’t flinch. Jagged, heavy, and unrelenting, it demands the truth, whether it comforts or cuts. Lara drew further inspiration from horror films, vampire folklore, and personal illness: “It's about wanting to see the imperfections alongside the ideal, about wanting intentions to be revealed; good or bad and the excitement of anticipation of the unknown being revealed," Lara says.
