Teri Gender Bender Shares New Song “Give Me, Give Me (Feat. Omar Rodríguez-López)”; Upcoming EP ‘State Of Fear’ Out December 16th

Teri Gender Bender is quickly following up the release of her latest EP ‘SATURN SEX’ with a new song called “GIVE ME, GIVE ME (feat. Omar Rodríguez-López)” out today. The song is taken from Teri’s new EP ‘STATE OF FEAR’ out December 16 and is the second part of her double EP, with the first part released on October 21.

Both EP’s will be released physically on December 16. Pre-order the bundle HERE.

Cautious but driving, rhythmic and with a mysterious touch, that’s how “GIVE ME, GIVE ME” kicks- off. The duet with Omar Rodríguez-López, Teri’s long-standing musical companion, multi- instrumentalist, and part of the just reunited The Mars Volta, captivates with a catchy, repeating tune and the two voices taking turns and complementing one another.

“GIVE ME, GIVE ME” is about the “feeling like you are never enough to the sensational spectrum of wanting more, that you do not have enough. From carnal sexual desire to existential crisis of the self" explains Teri on the song.

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.
