Our KSLUers are missing those summer days of swimming in the lake and singing campfire songs. Although your publications director cannot personally relate to wanting to sleep on the cold earth, she is proud to present our zine this fine Fall semester: KSLU's Camp Guidebook!

Ella Bullock and Caleb Jefson (Marble Teeth) talk shop in the KSLU Studio
Marble Teeth. You know him (or you don’t). You love him (or you just don’t know him yet). KSLUers may recognize him from a past interview, or our Spring Show in 2024, or on many a KSLU DJ’s playlists. I have been a fan of Marble Teeth since I saw him play at my very first house show in April 2023. His comfortable demeanor on stage, conversations and jokes with his listeners in between songs, and his tall frame seated next to an old TV set add to his appeal.
For those new to the Teeth Head scene, the TV is not just for the vibes; it also serves as his pre-recorded band when he performs solo. His creativity doesn’t just come out in his songs. His stage presence and merch speak for themselves. He handmakes practically everything, and I myself have a few original MT items in my closet. I digress, this interview was so much fun. Do I know how to use a radio mic after 3 years in the studio? … No, actually. We’ll see if the audio recording ever makes it to the light of day because apparently speaking directly into the mic is very difficult for me. His new EP comes out on July 4th, and trust and believe I will be listening to it. Enjoy this interview while you wait!! :) This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

It’s not easy to decide where this album would be most at home. Some songs are for walking home in the rain, some belong in repurposed Berlin warehouses turned techno dance halls, others belong in David Bowie’s underground in Labyrinth (1985). The most prevailing musical style in this album is reminiscent of 1980s synth-pop served à la Gaga, with some breaks here and there for groovier or Gaga-er tracks.
I went into this album hoping that Abracadabra would set the tone for an album with tracks similar to past hits like Scheiße, Judas, and Swine, but found myself surprised with the direction it took. For me, the album was an overall success, but I felt there were some places where Gaga was holding back. Her homages to artists like Madonna, David Bowie, and Prince were exciting for me, yet on those tracks, I felt like something was missing. However, there were plenty of tracks that I felt were authentic to the Lady herself, specifically to her Fame era, with some pepperings of other earlier albums in between.
