Editorial Reviews

Mouse Fire takes the modern touches of indie-pop and applies them to traditional pop song structure. You can hear influences of middle-of-the-road '70s pop with dancey rhythms, plus the Beatles mixed with contemporary bands as disparate as No Knife and the Dismemberment Plan." -- Tampa Bay Times

"The new album features such songs as the haunting `To Celebrate a Suicide,' which is rich with quick drum beats and fast-paced guitar strumming backed by Shuch's breathy vocals and lyrics ... new-age Beatles that everyone can listen to and enjoy." -- Lakeland Ledger

"These musicians create moody dance-rock while waving their fret boards and kicking their feet to a synchronized science." -- Reax Magazine

Somewhere between Interpol's Turn On the Bright Lights and Minus the Bear's Menos El Oso is where you'll find Mouse Fire's Wooden Teeth. This is a debut album from the band, but make no mistake, the members' musicianship is markedly mature. Wooden Teeth is a pièce de résistance boasting a caliber of artistry found few other places in independent music today.

The band has fused the best of its somber-chic forefathers (Modest Mouse, Cursive) with modern rock ideas, and the result is a striking soundscape ripe with danceable rhythms that will leave you in a delightful state of shock. Put your dancing shoes on, kids. You can't possibly stand still to music like this.
