The mouth is a powerful structure. By a combination of differently shaped teeth it can rip and tear and grind food/flesh into digestible little chunks. Terrifying, really. So much so, that it's kind of a common phobia. The fear of teeth, often animal teeth, is called odontophobia.
London, Ontario noise duo I Smell Blood take that action in close-up. "Taxidermized Bear Claw" is an icky, but hypnotic clip to pair with an equally scuzzy, equally entrancing morsel of two-part math rock. Behold this awesome set of chompers as it disposes of condiments and spaghetti and paint and charcoal and a toy car with ease. It's fucking grosss — that's the point. Anybody got a wet-nap?
