Goodman, describing the inspiration behind her sophomore album Teeth Marks. Not only are we the ones who bear its indentations, but were also the ones responsible for placing them on ourselves and others. When the Kentucky native released her debut album, Old Time Feeling, she was rightly coined an untamed rock n roll truth-teller by Rolling Stone. The roots-inflected rock n roll record saw Goodman lending her gritty, haunting vocals to narrate the dual perspectives of her upbringing as the daughter of a crop farmer, and a queer woman coming out in a rural town. Now with Teeth Marks, co-produced by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, Drive-By Truckers, Of Montreal) in Athens, Georgia, she picks up the threads of Old Time Feeling. But where her critically acclaimed, Jim James-produced debut zeroed in on the South, reframing misconceptions in slough water-soaked tones, her latest album pulses with downtown Velvet Underground electricity, shifting its focus inward - though never losing Goodmans searing and universal point of view. Teeth Marks is what you might get if Flannery OConnor and Lou Reed went on a road trip. Drawing influences from the aforementioned Velvets, as well as Pavement, Karen Dalton, and Chad VanGaalen, Goodman brings 11 powerful vignettes to life, with a sound that ventures deeper into indie rock and punk territory than she ever has before. Though Teeth Marks is a love album, Goodman doesnt aim her focus on romantic relationships alone. Instead, she analyzes the way love between communities, families, and even ones self can be influenced by trauma that lingers in the body. Teeth Marks is about what love actually is, loves psychological and physical imprint, its light, and its darkness. Its a record about the love we have or dont have for each other, and perhaps, more significantly, the love we have or dont have for ourselves.
