We invited our friend, Ola Kado, into the session to track violin pizzicato, which we ended up blending into the last half of the track. The song grew into itself over an amalgamation of new ideas we all brought to it, and we&#8217;re excited with where it ended up from where it began.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WvPV3_Mpt2I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hivemindpr.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=04780c244c226dd8f0096243b&amp;id=05f524c2d7&amp;e=998dd35436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28942\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b9ffef91-df7a-46e4-8e01-0ef84e4d0f80.jpeg?resize=800%2C530\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b9ffef91-df7a-46e4-8e01-0ef84e4d0f80.jpeg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b9ffef91-df7a-46e4-8e01-0ef84e4d0f80.jpeg?resize=300%2C199 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b9ffef91-df7a-46e4-8e01-0ef84e4d0f80.jpeg?resize=768%2C509 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b9ffef91-df7a-46e4-8e01-0ef84e4d0f80.jpeg?resize=624%2C413 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Tunic<\/a>&#8216;s <em>Teeth Showing<\/em> by contrast is a furious 2 minute squall, a vicious burst of energy that communicates the potency of the band&#8217;s revered live shows, honed during a packed two years of touring in North America and Europe behind 2017&#8217;s <em>Boss<\/em> and 2016&#8217;s <em>disappointment<\/em> EPs.
