Philadelphia's fuzzed-out indie psych outfit Far Out Fangtooth features guitarists/vocalists Joseph Kusy and Nick Kulp, percussionist/vocalist Vincent Alvaré, and bassist Tania Mesterhazy. After self-releasing a cassette album, the band released a limited-edition 7" single on the local Ian! label. Meanwhile, they were also working on demos for what would become their debut album, Pure & Disinterested, which they recorded with Philly scene fixtures Damien Taylor (the Sounds of Kaleidoscope) and Gerhardt Koener (Lilys). Released in 2011 via Siltbreeze, the album's grungy, moody, expansive feel drew comparisons to the Cramps and Sonic Youth. Far Out Fangtooth followed it with the Hozac-released EP Thorns in 2012. For their second album, 2013's expansive yet streamlined Borrowed Time, the band worked at Philadelphia's Cobb Studio. ~ Heather Phares
