High Anxiety is the debut full length by Sweden’s Sweet Teeth that is now via Lövely Records. After bursting onto the scene with their 2021 mini-album, Acid Rain, the four piece now returns with a dozen new tracks of explosive power pop. On their new studio effort, Sweet Teeth combines the unforgettable sounds of the guitar driven 80/90s with their own signature mixture of super melodic songwriting and palpable energy, adding up to a record packed with honest, straight forward, and bittersweet tunes.
“With “High Anxiety”, we wanted to make an album with as little hassle as possible. No long solos or extra unnecessary stuff to fill out the songs, they simply didn’t need that. Still, we didn’t want to limit ourselves, instead we wanted to find our own formula. The result is a collection of pop songs played with a punk/hardcore feel. Lyrically, it’s sometimes pretty heavy. A lot of the lyrics are about anxiety in life, love found and then lost, and all the good and destructive ways to deal with that. Per Ståhlberg really demanded us to record in his studio, and his input both before and during recording at Welfare Sounds made so much sense. He understood exactly what we wanted to do, so it all went very smoothly in the studio. Our own bass player Joona of course did a splendid job mastering it, so it sounds great!”
