About"Teeth Dreams" is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Hold Steady, released on March 25, 2014, by Washington Square Music. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and recorded at Rock Falcon Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
The album features a sound that builds upon the band's previous work, with elements of classic rock, punk and indie rock. The band's lyrics, written by lead vocalist Craig Finn, continue to be a focal point of the album, with Finn's storytelling ability shining through in tracks such as "Spinners", "I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You" and "The Ambassador."
The album's themes revolve around the struggle to maintain personal relationships and overcome personal demons, as well as commentary on societal issues such as gentrification and political corruption.
"Teeth Dreams" was met with generally positive reviews upon its release, with many critics noting the album's return to form after the band's previous release, "Heaven is Whenever." However, some critics felt that the album lacked the immediacy and urgency of the band's earlier work.
