"Totally upped the ante as far as bombastic, memorable 1980s nuances go."

More Teeth & Tongue More Teeth & Tongue

Melbourne via New Zealand chanteuse Jess Cornelius, aka Teeth & Tongue, has once again mined that wondrous sound bank of hers that created 2014's Grids and previous offerings bulging with beauty and beats.

Now comes Give Up On Your Health, and while it still shares Grids' ability to entrance using simple arrangements, it's totally upped the ante as far as bombastic, memorable 1980s nuances go. Cornelius and her players weave their production savvy through the big and bold (Dianne, When We Met) and the crisp and sparse (Give Up On Your Health, Small Towns), but they mesmerise whichever track pops up on shuffle.
