In addition, the physical version of the double EP is out now. Follow this link to order. On the title track ‘STATE OF FEAR’, TGB wonders “Is this real life?!” The rather dark mood of the song perfectly reflects the actual theme of “living in an insecure world in the most secure of times and vice versa…. But nothing feels more alerting when your mind is the state… the feral animal that keeps your body weak, hence anxiety feeding off the mind, debilitating and impairing any kind of realistic judgement….” Teri explains. And still she comes to the final conclusion: “Well, then oh well, let the dread come in, in fact, let’s welcome it!” Most known as the frontwoman of Le Butcherettes, TGB’s Avant-garde musical style is showcased at its most poignant and bright on her solo endeavours and will resonate heavily with those of us crying out for authentic personalities who are proudly, eccentrically, individual. Her songs all have something in common – they are all lit from within by an inner radiance, wise and freaky, always proud, strong, and sweet at the same time, reminiscent of Björk, wrestling fantastic works of art and pop miniatures from the great moments of intensity and quiet pause that life throws at us. It is simply impossible to label TGB within a specific genre. This doesn’t come as a surprise looking at her musical accomplishments so far: as well as being frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist of Mexican garage punk band Le Butcherettes, she has also contributed vocals on numerous records for Omar Rodríguez-López, as well as collaborating with musical luminaries such as Melvins and Iggy Pop. ‘SATURN SEX’ and ‘STATE OF FEAR’ follow the release of the ‘COMPLEXIFY’ EP collection. TGB has poured the experiences of her eventful life, and those of us all, into 10 EPs with four tracks each, before tearing them apart. Not entirely, but there is a reason her former band is called Le Butcherettes, and why they were one of the hottest and most politically necessary riot grrrl bands in Mexico in the late 2000s. The 40 tracks are based on four principles, four pillars of truth so as to speak, that underlie all of TGB’s sparklingly beautiful and achingly elegiac music. ‘STATE OF FEAR’ Track Listing:
