Mallrat Shares Smoking New Video for “Teeth”
November 18, 2022 BY Penny Palmer
Treasured Australian indie pop icon Mallrat is excited to reveal her spicy new video for ‘Teeth‘, one of the many highlights on her debut album Butterfly Blue which debuted at #2 on the Australian Albums Charts and #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart on its release earlier in the year.
‘Teeth‘ was directed by Mallrat (aka Melbourne-based singer/writer/producer Grace Shaw) and co-directed by James Robinson (Camp Cope, Wafia, Valentino, Adidas Originals). Watch it here.
Mallrat says: “When I was writing my album I kept thinking about monster trucks. I wanted to harness that distortion and roughness to balance out all the delicate and ethereal moments. This video is a very literal depiction of that. The references are eclectic – Lady Godiva, siren mythology, Charlie’s Angels and the Paris Hilton Carl’s Jr commercial. We filmed Teeth at the beginning of the year, at home in Queensland, with some very talented friends (James Robinson and Amy Dellar).“
Mallrat kicks off her previously announced regional tour dates this week, ahead of a run of festival dates that includes Spilt Milk and the Laneway Festival.
