Teeth & Tongue were an Australian indie rock band formed in 2007 by Jessica Claire Cornelius, a New Zealand-born singer-songwriter and musician. The project has included other members, such as James Harvey on drums, Marc Regueiro-McKelvie on guitar and Damian Sullivan on bass guitar and synthesiser. Teeth & Tongue released four albums, Monobasic (November 2008), Tambourine (April 2011), Grids (March 2014) and Give Up on Your Health (September 2016), before disbanding early in 2017. The stage name had also been used for Cornelius' solo performances, but since 2017 she has performed and released material under her own name and relocated to Los Angeles late that year. History Teeth & Tongue were formed in Melbourne in 2007 by Jessica Cornelius (ex-Moscow Schoolboy) on lead vocals, keyboards and guitar, as a vehicle for her song-writing. She recalled, "you either want a fully-collaborative band in which everyone has input into everything, or you just have your own project, and say 'this is my band, do you want to help with it?'" Cornelius was born in c. 1980 and grew up in Ngāruawāhia, New Zealand before moving to Wellington as a teenager. She relocated to Melbourne in 2000 where, "she cycled through scores of bands, before one she fronted, the snarling Moscow Schoolboy, stuck." Teeth and Tongue's debut album, Monobasic, was issued in November 2008 via Inertia Records/Crystal Chain Records with Cornelius co-producing with Casey Rice. For the album Cornelius was joined by Rice on guitar and EBow, Ricky French on guitar, Ben MacDonald on keyboards, Patrick Millman on bass guitar, Cesar Rodgrigues on guitar, Joe Talia on drums, Ian Wadley on guitar. It received critical acclaim from Australian media, including rotation airplay on Triple J and FBi Radio, Album of the Week on Radio Adelaide, and reviews in Rolling Stone, Triple J Magazine, Who Weekly and Yen Magazine. Teeth & Tongue, with the line-up of Cornelius, Steve Masterson, Marc Reguiro-Mckelvie and "Patto" Millman, were chosen as Triple J's radio programme Home & Hoseds Next Crop artist in November 2009. Steph Hughes of that programme explained, "Her latest songwriting output has seen the group remaining true to initial brooding sensibilities – with an added special sauce. At any turn a Teeth & Tongue song could be sludgy, melodic, metronomic – or a patchwork of them all. It's meticulously constructed but by no means restrained." Tambourine, their second album, was released in April 2011 via
