Teri Gender Bender’s latest EP ‘SATURN SEX’ is out today, digitally. Teri previously released the title track, along with the single and music video ‘THE GET UP’. The EP’s focus track ‘MIND YOUR FEELINGS’ starts slow, almost dragging and evolves into an intense and captivating electronic indie-pop soundscape. “Loss can be such an intimate feeling but if that means someone living in your shoes helps you be understood then why not welcome it?” says Teri on the on the song. “Well, the gain is just knowing how it feels but still, it ain’t anything out of this world…. Sadly, because it is so common but there is a sense of relief when someone can fully understand you but at the cost of them losing their innocence. Sometimes it is better to just keep it yourself and let the ocean waves devour it.” ‘SATURN SEX’ is the first part of a double EP, the second part of which will be ‘STATE OF FEAR’, out 16 December. Both EPs will be released physically on 16 December too. Pre-order the bundle here. Most known as the frontwoman for Le Butcherettes, Teri Gender Bender’s Avantgarde 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 Teri Gender Bender within a specific genre. This doesn’t come as a surprise looking at her musical accomplishments so far: as well as exceptional performances with 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. Teri Gender Bender 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 Teri Gender Bender’s sparklingly beautiful and achingly elegiac music. Teri is currently supporting The Mars Volta on the band’s first tour in over a decade. Her powerful and eccentric live performances are mesmerising audiences across the country. They begin a three-night residency at the Hollywood Palladium tonight in Los Angeles. Teri Gender Bender supporting The Mars Volta – Tour Dates;
