In our perpetual waltz with time, we often find ourselves adrift in a sea of memories, elusive and cold, like shadows flickering in the twilight of consciousness. These moments, once vivid, now fade like the dying light of a distant star, yet they grip us with a haunting familiarity. The past, in its transitory nature, becomes a mirror, reflecting both the beauty and impermanence of our existence. We reach out, trying to hold onto what slips away, only to realize that the journey is not about clinging to what was, but about understanding the fluid nature of life itself—a continuous flow, forever changing, never stagnant.
Endless, the haunting new single from Los Angeles dark synth-pop outfit Sleek Teeth, prowls through the labyrinth of isolation, hunting for meaning in a world steeped in chaos. The beats and rhythms pulse with precision, slicing through the brooding fog that has long suffocated the underground scene. It’s a journey back in time, where moments freeze and fade, slipping just beyond reach. The past haunts with the cold, indifferent grip of memories that refuse to let go. The struggle against a dark, unrelenting tide leaves the listener adrift, knowing they’ll never fully grasp the end, only the endless uncertainty that shadows every step.
The video, directed by Adrian Stucker, stitches together a sun-soaked montage of SoCal life. You see a couple playing around at a seaside amusement park, their carefree moments captured against the backdrop of endless summer days. But just when you think you’ve got it figured out, flashes of a red mystery cut through the fun. It’s a strange ride, blending the ordinary with the inexplicable, reminding you that life’s full of odd wonders and mysteries that defy explanation. This clip leaves you pondering the hidden depths beneath the surface. Where does it all lead?
“We worked with director Adrian Stucker to create a story that takes an unpredictable path, where we start out in a place that feels familiar and end up somewhere completely unexpected,” says the band. “Most journeys in life don’t come with a map or a finish line, so it can be easy to feel lost or start questioning yourself along the way. This is an exploration of the rewards- and perils- of letting go of expectations and embracing uncertainty.”

Sleek Teeth walks a fine line between contrasts: their ethereal, almost early ’90s dance vocals hover above a bedrock of fresh, inventive rhythms, creating an experience that’s both dynamic and emotionally resonant. The subtle sadness woven into their sound serves as the gateway to a deeper dive, a journey through the noise toward a more profound understanding. This isn’t just music for the sake of nostalgia—it’s a blueprint for navigating the chaos, a refreshing departure from the overdone, testosterone-fueled beats that have long dominated the underground scene.
Sleek Teeth are only getting started. They already made an impressive live debut at the legendary Das Bunker in Los Angeles in 2024 and are slated to play at the Substance Festival in November. Their debut EP is scheduled for release in October 2024.
