Teeth And Tongue

About Me


"...her brilliant debut album 'Monobasic' is a rough-cut gem..."
The Age EG
Teeth & Tongue perform Roky Erikson's 'You Don't Love ME Yet' live at the Toff as part of Swedish Artist Johanna Billing's exhibition for ACCA. August 2009.
"...one of most damn listenable records released this year." - Mess & Noise Magazine
"There are names often invoked for an artist in this line- Patti Smith, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey- and Cornelius manages to be a beguiling combination of all three." - Rolling Stone Magazine, March 2009
"...Cornelius's songs are strange, intriguing beasts; "Stacey Come Over is one of a few that sound like good post-punk such as Public Image or Magazine... It's very good. "- Chris Johnston, The Age (Melbourne) Magazine.
"Jess Cornelius' sassy solo debut (as Teeth & Tongue) is a soulful, lo-fi work of genuine intrigue." Dan Rule, Music Australia Guide
"Beautifully raw and affecting, Jess Cornelius's voice makes you sit up and take notice..." - MX Magazine
"...Completely captivating" - Three Thousand
"Low-fi, raw and from the heart...this solo debut is a testament that some things do happen for the better." Jmag
* * * * "A raw, idiosyncratic debut..." Who Magazine
"...Dark, foreboding ballads with a galloping rhythm section and chiming guitar. Unsettling, but beautiful." Yen Magazine
* * * * "This is really beautiful stuff." - Richard Kingsmill
"As soon as I heard There Is A Lightness To My Bones, it got in my head. All in all, it's a winner tune, and my catch of the day..." Zan Rowe, Triple J

'Top Ten Albums of 2008'- The Owl and the Grapes
LIVE
"Jess Cornelius has come from a delicious concoction...a fiery concoction that leaves you astounded at the beauty and the flavour. Under the moniker Teeth & Tongue, she has the sassiness of a performer who has been on stage for years." Inpress Magazine
About the album:
Teeth & Tongue's debut album 'MONOBASIC' is out now through Crystal Chain/Inertia, and available all across this fine land.

Sounds Like: You can buy 'Monobasic' from JB Hifi anywhere in Australia, or from any decent independent record stores including Polyester, Greville Records, Missing Link (Vic) Red Eye Records, Hum (NSW) Rockinghorse Records (QLD), Landspeed (Canberra) and even if you walk into a Sanity or HMV (if you were really that way inclined) they could probably order it in for you. OR you could just click on the weird 'Unicorn-Fantasy' style picture below and order one to be sent right to your door!!!

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS can purchase Monobasic by clicking on the link below, and the good people will send you one.
