Following an astronomical year spent selling out venues up and down the country, London's Tooth are back with their first new material since their acclaimed debut EP, Restless in Bloom. Now signed to Parlophone, the band have today shared ‘Take Me As I Am’ marking an exciting new chapter for the four-piece as they throw everything into its 3 minutes and 34 seconds. “‘Take Me As I Am’ represents a big development in our songwriting from what we did on Restless In Bloom both lyrically and instrumentally,” explains singer Tom Pollock. “On the EP, I’d written lyrics exploring coming of age, young romance and other typical teenage tropes. However, with this song I turned to focus on ideas of identity within my experience of being in a band, where people perhaps feel they know or understand me, despite often feeling like I don’t even know or understand myself. The lyrics are conversational, ebbing and flowing between both a desperation to be accepted, and a resentment toward expectations of what or who I should be.”Take a listen to the dazzling new effort below.
