Pianos Become the Teeth

Reining in the physicality and screamo aggression, post-hardcore outfit Pianos Become the Teeth—known for its unique intersectional explorations of cinematic post-rock and brutalist punk—exhibited a suprising capacity for restraint on 2014's Keep You. The band's latest, Wait for Love, continues the trajectory: less a move toward accessibility, and more a continued deft evasion of pigeonholing.
