Morose experimental music connoisseurs, Raime, announced their sophomore album today for English imprint Blackest Ever Black, entitled Tooth, and shared its itchingly ill-willed lead single. Where their previous record Quarter Turns Over A Living Line saw Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead exploring negative space reverberating between its instrumental gestures, “Dead Heat” assertively strikes its downbeats while still implying a subtle, cinematic kind of tension.
This is the duo’s first release as Raime since their debut in 2012; in 2013 they regrouped as Moin for an EP of patiently seething art rock, replacing their synths and computers with full on drums and guitars.

Earlier this month, label signee Carla dal Forno shared “Fast Moving Cars,” a dazed daydream of a better world.
Tooth will arrive on June 10 on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats; it is available to preorder on BEB’s website. Raime is set to play Toronto’s 2016 Unsound festival alongside Berlin’s Lotic, Montréal’s Kara-Lis Coverdale, and more.
