No one needs answers when the music speaks for itself. Teebs’s music speaks for itself. So does the fact that his Soundcloud page reps Chino Hills. Coupled with Abe Vigoda also claiming birthright, the pair are doing damage to the carefully tousled reputation that Ryan Atwood inculcated on the O.C. Snoop also once bragged about […]

Teebs “Moments” from Paul Trillo on Vimeo. Belated but predictably beautiful video for “Moments.” Off Ardour, which continues to remain my go-to record for stoned late night drives and lucid dreams. Download: MP3: Teebs-”Pretty Poly” MP3: Teebs-”Arthur’s Birds” MP3: Teebs-”Personal Winter”

Teebs – Pretty Poly April 26, 2011
Teebs’ castoffs are better than most producers’ finest efforts.  Released on the Brainfeeder beatmakers Tumblr, the origins of “Pretty Poly” trace to a mix that J Rocc did for Dublab. Flipping what is presumably a cover of the traditional folk song “Pretty Polly” (maybe the Incredible String band version?), Teebs submerges it into his breezy […]

Benji B’s out on vacation, leaving the house keys to the Brainfeeders, who drink his soy milk and smoke his finest weed — all in an attempt to topple J Rocc for best radio mix of the young year. It’s unclear who wins, but the Walking Dead throw their firing squad at the problem. Straight […]

Aaron Matthews has a library full of wind chimes and dimes. It’s fitting that Teebs named his debut after a synonym for love. At times. his music  can be indescribable without leaning on superlatives. At a superficial level, these are merely samples and loops, cut and pasted in a particular order. Yet on an ethereal […]

Ada or Ardour October 11, 2010
The unofficial but Teebs-approved video for “Anchor Steam” puts a pixie-haired face on his interstellar synesthesia. The press kit one-liner comes courtesy of Flying Lotus who described his music as sounding the way Avatar looks. It’s a perfect description — one validated by  Google image searching, “Teebs Paintings.” Even in pixelated form, his abstract flair […]

Tidal Waves and Teebs September 14, 2010
DAEDELUS – TIDAL WAVES UPRISING from StrangeLoop on Vimeo. Due to time constraints, I’m combining Daedelus’s latest video with the latest MP3 to leak from Teebs’ forthcoming and excellent Ardour, which is this year’s Nosaj Thing’s Drift. I.E. the Low End Theory cross-over album that will cross-over inasmuch as you can when you’re an American […]

Thanks to hiring a one-legged, but highly capable Moldavian hacker to break into the Alpha Pup server, I was able to swipe the first leak from Teebs’ forthcoming Brainfeeder debut, Ardour. Those six of you who enjoy my use of mythological metaphors and beats to gems similes, should head over there.  It is a Monday. […]

Let the record show that this is the only volcano that I fuck with.  Eyjafjallajokull, Krakatoa, and Joe Vs. can get the finger — what finger? The middle. As the LA Weekly reported earlier this week, Mary Anne Hobbs has decamped to the city of the Angels for the next month, to duck the travel […]

Teebs is the Don March 3, 2010
According to BTS Radio, the fine people who wrangled this mix: “there’s a deep rooted sound to Teebs‘ music that connects with our everyday surroundings. It spotlights emotional corners and builds warmth over the listener. Initially, I was drawn into Teebs’ world when I discovered his artwork. Rich in color, complex, yet leaving enough breathing […]
