"Imagine if David Lynch had discovered a time machine with the dial stuck on 1950 and decided to send a Soho nightclub back through it. Then listen to Sweet Tooth. Led by the striking presence and pipes of Fleurtini, Sweet Tooth sound like the soundtrack to 'Mulholland Drive' fed through the slink-o-meter and set to 'caress'."
Big Cheese magazine, August 2008

"Sweet, sensual and subtly-suggestive retro lounge-pop fronted by a gorgeous blonde called Fleurtini."
Time Out magazine

“…standout track 'Everybody Wants To Be In Love' melds the Londinium atmospherics of St Etienne into Galliano’s paradox blues with resonant melancholy... Swoonsome."
The Fly magazine

Welcome (willkommen and bienvenue!) to the world of Sweet Tooth, a lounge/pop/electronica band based in London. Formed in 2006 by vocalist Fleurtini and songwriter/producer Gavin Hammond, the project was born of the duo's mutual love of retro music, lethal cocktails and vintage clothing.

Their debut album, Wow & Flutter, is currently being mixed in their own studio in Brixton. It serves up a heady cocktail of glamorous lounge and sparkling 50s pop, casting film-noir shadows and brushing a twinkle of glitter over the world as you listen; all set to the dark beat of a vintage drum and shaken - not stirred - with a hint of electronica.

Fans who’ve been captivated by the allure of their signature track, Everybody Wants To Be In Love include artists such as Michael Nyman and Nouvelle Vague:

”All looks and sounds highly delightful.”
Michael Nyman (composer/musician)

”Good voice, good songs – Bravo!”
Marc Collin (producer - Nouvelle Vague)

Fleurtini’s on-stage presence harks back to a time when stars of the silver screen were elusive, enigmatic and elegant creatures; and considerably more 'playful' than many of today's bad-girl tabloid stars. Yet Sweet Tooth’s real strength is as a band - as rapturously received shows at the Soho Revue Bar and Madame Jo-Jos have recently confirmed.

Their influences include: Julie London, Peggy Lee, April Stephens, Feist, Billie Holiday, Richard Hawley, Ray Charles, Serge Gainsbourg, Royksopp, Sam Prekop, Mike Milosh, Goldfrapp, Gotan Project and Hotel Costes. But their sound is very much their own, as this quote from the American press affirms:

"The unaffected, sultry vocals by Fleurtini and nuanced, subtle production by guitarist Gavin Hammond give the London band Sweet Tooth an extraordinary allure. Their songs shine with a rare, unadorned beauty that is strikingly resonant. "Everybody Wants to Be in Love" won't soon drift from your mind. The playful "Mine All Mine" is another delight."
