Tooth have announced their debut EP and dropped ‘Restless in Bloom’, reflecting on growing out of youth
Five-track release arrives via Soil To The Sun Recordings with extensive UK touring.
Tooth have confirmed details of their debut EP, 'Restless in Bloom', which will arrive on 12th June through Soil To The Sun Recordings. Alongside the announcement, the London four-piece have dropped the EP's title-track.
Produced by Kev Jones at Church Studios in Crouch End, with mixing from Vince Ratti and mastering by Will Yip, the EP collects five tracks including previously released singles 'The Age of Innocence' and 'Medicine', as well as new cuts 'Schoolyard' and 'Wallflower'.
Vocalist Tom Pollock explains the inspiration behind the record's name: "The name 'Restless in Bloom' came from a poetry zine put together by Ben's girlfriend. She explained the meaning behind the name, saying how our youth was growing into something else, blossoming into something beyond what we knew. We would fill our time fidgeting with the freedom around us, restless in apprehension of whatever's coming once youth fades. The lyrics reflect this idea, using the backdrop of two people sleeping together, both quickly growing out of each other and realising their existence has more potential beyond the confines of adolescence."
