THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Uniflora are a Chicago indie-rock trio comprised of Quinn Dugan (vocals and guitar), Ruby O’Brien (drums and pedal steel), and Theo Williams (bass and guitar).
To make More Gums Than Teeth, they checked into Charm Co-Op, a fledgling recording studio in Chicago’s lively Pilsen neighborhood, to work with engineer Erik Cameron. They recorded most of the album live, switching instruments for Two Or More, on which Williams plays guitar and Dugan takes bass. With the extra time in the studio, the band also expanded their instrumental palette beyond guitar, bass and drums.
“Compared to our previous attempts at recording (during which we would try to record every unrecorded song we had in our arsenal in a single day), this set of studio sessions finally made recording feel like a project,” writes Dugan. More Gums than Teeth features electric 12-string guitar (I Was Made To Freeze), synth textures courtesy of Williams, and kalimba (From The City Circle).
More Gums Than Teeth captures Uniflora experimenting, discovering and emerging with a distinct lyrical and sonic style — omnivorish post-punk for today. The album captures three young musicians pushing themselves in inspired new directions.”
