Teri Gender Bender Releases New Single “LET’S BEGIN” Taken From Upcoming EP “STATE OF FEAR” Out December 16th

Teri Gender Bender has released a second single called “LET’S BEGIN” from her upcoming EP “STATE OF FEAR” out December 16th. It follows the release of “GIVE ME, GIVE ME (feat. Omar Rodríguez-López)” which was released last Friday.

The singles come right after the release of her latest EP “SATURN SEX” released on October 21st. “STATE OF FEAR” is the second part of her double EP. Both EP’s will be released physically on December 16th.

The track evolves from a minimalistic, invoking verse to a synth-filled, empowering chorus shaking its listeners up to prevent them from endless and wasted waiting. Written and sung completely in Spanish, “LET’S BEGIN” points out Teri’s Mexican roots and gives the track very personal touch.

“Sometimes your own faith in an entity can be your anchor, or the person you love can hold you back, it can be oh so hard to admit ... 'it was my faith that was the enemy of everything.... I waited and waited but the moon has now eaten itself”, Teri explains the genesis of the song. She appeals: “Waiting on someone or something can be a letdown... before you know it, it is too late to begin your own life. So: LET’S BEGIN!”.

Most known as the front lady for Le Butcherettes, Teri Gender Bender’s Avant-garde musical style is showcased at its most poignant and bright on her solo endeavors, and will resonate heavily with those of us crying out for authentic personalities who are proudly, eccentrically, individual.

Her songs all have something in common – they are all lit from within by an inner radiance, wise and freaky, always proud, strong, and sweet at the same time, reminiscent of Björk, wrestling fantastic works of art and pop miniatures from the great moments of intensity and quiet pause that life throws at us.

It is simply impossible to label Teri Gender Bender within a specific genre. This doesn’t come as a surprise looking at her musical accomplishments so far: Primarily known for her exceptional performances as frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist of Mexican garage punk band Le Butcherettes, she has also contributed vocals on numerous records for Omar Rodríguez-López, as well as collaborating with musical luminaries such as Melvins and Iggy Pop.

“SATURN SEX” and “STATE OF FEAR” follows the release of the “COMPLEXIFY EP” collection. Teri Gender Bender has poured the experiences of her eventful life, and those of us all, into 10 EPs with four tracks each, before tearing them apart. Not entirely, but there is a reason her former band is called Le Butcherettes, and why they were one of the hottest and most politically necessary riot grrrl bands in Mexico in the late 2000s. Fans can stream the collection in its entirety HERE.

The 40 tracks are based on four principles, four pillars of truth so as to speak, that underlie all of Teri Gender Bender’s sparklingly beautiful and achingly elegiac music
