Delighting fans again Wood’s delicate dreamy vocals continue to pervade her music since the release of her debut single ‘Sunburn’ in 2019. The latest from the stellar songstress ‘pulling teeth’ is a minimalist slow burner that manages to maintain her own brand of unique instrumentation and distinct vocals. Placing listeners in a melancholic trance as soon as the track opens with an array of rolling drum melodies, lush guitar riffs and Wood’s sweet vocals as the cherry on top.
Wood‘s honeyed lyricism weaves a relatable narrative that is both riveting and visceral, settling listeners into a tale of a relationship’s ruin. “‘pulling teeth’ is easily my most savage song yet” Wood reveals about
he single, further sharing, “the track is about letting a toxic relationship go on for way too long, until finally everything reaches breaking point and you explode with all of the thoughts that you probably should’ve kept to yourself.” The accompanying theatrical music video directed by Madeline Randall (Sycco, Hallie) invites the viewer into a journey of frustration and fantasy. The various scenes act as a reflection of the evocative lyrical content creating an almost idyllic moment. Wood has created a refreshing visual through the use of vintage styling, vivid symbolism and soft filters depicting a sombre side to a connection. The video follows through to a plot twist where roles are reversed reflecting the lyrical content when the single takes a turn to introspective and acceptance of one’s own missteps in a relationship.
