Acoustic guitars waltzing with tribalistic doom-jazz percussion wrapped in a thick layer of droning noise and analogue gadgetry - Them Teeth is a noise-folk two-piece, originally from the woodlands outside Gothenburg, Sweden.
The duo's first official release, parts of which can be found on Erstwhile(2016), was recorded in 2011. After a few years on hiatus, and after the discontinuaton of the first release, the duo returned with Auditory Witchcraft in 2016.
Latest release: Illfänas, LP 2023
Illfänas, Them Teeth's third official full-length release, is a raw-sounding, ritualistic and fiercely repetative amalgam of folk strings and furious walls of noise.
While being the de facto successor to 2019's Sun of serpent, moone of cipher, Illfänas is not the third installment in the duo's "witch trilogy" but an untamed offshoot from the previously set path.
Illfänas is available in two different cassette case variants - standard O-Card and a super limited hand-made and hand-carved wooden case - and as digital download.
Sun of Serpent, Moone of Cipher marks the second installment of Them Teeth's 'folkloric witchcraft' trilogy.

Unlike 2016's Auditory Witchcraft, Alkemisten & Vansinnet features no guitars, rhythms or actual melodies – instead the EP is compiled of two of the duo's most drone:esque tales of darkness and hysteria.
Auditory Witchcraft was Them Teeth's first official full-length release, and the first part of a trilogy focusing on folklorish witchery.
Erstwhile is a compilation of tracks recorded between 2010 and 2012, a few of which were originally released on an EP that has since been discontinued.

Slow, haunting impressions and free-willed, at times broken, percussion.
An offshoot to - and composed by one half of - Them Teeth, Holy Mountain Beast fuses ritualistic rythms with screaming analogue noise and the odd droning guitar.
The project was a one-off venture by O.W.K.(Them Teeth) and was partially built on debris remaining from Them Teeth's Auditory Witchcraft.

Dead Mantra and Rituals; vol I / A Bibliography of Shamans is Holy Mountain Beast's first and probably only official full-length release and is available on chrome cassette tape(very limited release) and as digital download.

Oscar W. Küsel or O.W.K. (Them Teeth) is a musician, producer and sound artist from Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Woods: a visceral descent into the violent nature of metamorphosis was recorded between 2017 and 2021.
Equal parts sonic experiment and musical venture–at its core O.W.K.'s The Woods: sets out to explore the space between organic and mechanical, the animate and the inanimate while simultaneously evoking images of ageing modernity devoured by the ancient and primitive and perhaps inevitable.
On The Woods: O.W.K. blends feedback noise with outright distortion and finds curious sounds within the chaos to mimic everything from chirps and woodland creatures to rustling treetops and harrowing winds. Amid the walls of swirling woodland noise custom made string instruments, both bowed and not, produce thick acoustic drones and melodies–accompanied by percussion, Foley and the odd vocal exercise.
The Woods: a visceral descent into the violent nature of metamorphosis is now available on CD and as digital download.

"Noise, ambience and harsh cinematic outbursts - take a walk through the cold, desolate countryside."
Oscar W. Küsel's The Backwood Narratives (with the subheading an unforgiving five-piece meditation on the experience of desolation) was recorded in May, 2020.
With a few exceptions, such as a scarce use of custom-built string instruments and a small amount of Foley work, The Backwood Narratives was created solely through the use of audio feedback, looping and cross-connecting the ins and outs of a small, analogue mixing console. No third party samples or field recordings were used.
The Backwood Narratives is now available as digital download.
