Melbourne’s solo project-slash-five-piece-band (it makes sense, trust us) Teeth & Tongue (aka Jess Cornelius & Co.) have today dropped a stunning new single titled ‘Cupcake’.

Following on from 2014’s incredible LP Grids which as hailed by Tone Deaf as “11 cuts [that] play to her greatest strengths,” Cornelius has spent the last two months at the Nes Artist Residency in Iceland working on new material, however ‘Cupcake’ was originally recorded in Melbourne, making it a ‘bit of a trans-atlantic affair.’

The video for ‘Cupcake’ was shot out of car and bus windows while driving around North Iceland, in Skagastrond and at the residency, as Cornelius explains “I met a Canadian graphic novelist there, and she’d taken some  similar footage, so we put it together and made projections of it. She set up her camera and filmed me with the projections against the wall of the studio one evening, with all the other artists doing their own work in the background as I mimed along. Then I sent a great pile of footage back to Sunny Leunig in Melbourne for editing”.

Teeth & Tongue hit the road later this month supporting Courtney Barnett on her national album tour, info at www.teethandtongue.com.
