Marble teeth returns to the stu: talks TV, tunes, and tailbone

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.
