Alt-rock outfit Weathers has released their new track “Teeth” and the accompanying lyric video via Big Machine Rock. Prior to today, the band shared “Happy Pillz (Higher Dose)”, a fresh reimagining of fan-favorite track “Happy Pills”, and their latest banger, “Antidote”. Speaking about the inspiration behind “Teeth”, the band commented:
“’Teeth’ is one of the most interesting songs we’ve ever written, not because it’s necessarily honest or deep and vulnerable, but actually because it was inspired by my celebrity crush. I wanted to deliver an idea of that kind of parasocial relationship or the thought we all have at least once when thinking about celebrities we like which is “would we be friends in real life?” However the twist being that this character in the song represents those people out there that think they have a personal relationship with someone they don’t know. Hence my favorite lyric, “you would like me, you would love me” which leans into the delusion that maybe they could be friends even though they don’t know that person at all.
We’ve all had celebrity crushes before and wondered what it would be like to meet them. I wanted to take things a step further and bring a dark ridiculous twist to the song making it feel possessive and scary. Fun fact, while writing this song we had this actors tv show playing in the room.”
Fans will soon have their chance to see Weathers hit the stage on the upcoming Moonbloom US tour alongside VOILÀ and Ella Red. The tour kicks off Tuesday, October 27, in Los Angeles, California at The Fonda and wraps on Sunday, November 15, in Denver, Colorado. Afterward, the band will bring the heat to their headlining show on Tuesday, November 17, in Salt Lake City, Utah at Urban Lounge (tickets available at the link here).
