Here's a 45 I obtained from a dollar bin a few years ago but didn't give a spin until this week. For shame, because I had been depriving myself of two excellent songs from this long departed NYC three-piece, who had the good fortune of releasing their single on a label run by
Richard Baluyut of
Versus/
+ - renown.
Baby Tooth were fronted by
Michal Sapir, a young chanteuse of Isreali origin. Sapir's offbeat knack for melody meshes well with the brooding, dynamic post-punk aplomb of "Jet Lag," just as fittingly with the comparatively twee, flute-enhanced "Explosive Crescent Man." Baby Tooth released an ep,
Rare Book Room in 1994 that I really need to get my hands on...
A. Explosive Crescent Man
B. Jet Lag
