About Two Front Teeth Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
&
Gabe Snow is a tabloid writer haunted by the ghouls of his morbid X-mas past. Caught in the middle of a Yule-tide conspiracy and a strained relationship with his cheating wife (Noel), Gabe must face his demons to save both his marriage and Christmas as we know it.
It is immediately apparent that Guymon brings his own sense of humor to the score. Visually, the audience can practically see the tongue lodged firmly in Jamie Nash’s cheek. But listening to the score, it is as if Guymon wasn’t in on the joke. The film opens with a the sort of creepy orchestral cue one would expect from a classic Christopher Young score; the foreboding string lines, doubled by a wordless female vocal, bend up and down, as if wailing like ghosts, setting up the first scare of the film – a sudden burst of orchestral fury that ends the aptly titled premiere track, Mistletoe Kiss, with a bang.
The second track on the album is the opening credits, which present a thoroughly haunting and memorable theme that is put to good use throughout. Again, the music’s humor comes with the sense of clueless oblivion with which Guymon seems to proceed; surely, in his mind, the film is a serious one; an important one.
With persistent hints of Goldsmith and Young throughout, and occasional tips of his hat to Richard Band (particularly tracks 4, 12, & 13), Guymon manages to stay in character at almost all times, producing a score that under other circumstances could very well work as the underpinnings for a seriously scary Hollywood flick. In this context, Guymon's score perfectly balances the silliness of the plot, providing a cutting sarcasm that keeps the audience willing to accept the ever building absurdity with subtle winks and nods that whisper that this is, indeed, a purposeful irony.
Track 14, Motel Surgery, is a masterfully executed cue in the style of Penderecki and Ligetti. Mixed in with the Threnody-like craziness is a Mongolian Horse-Head Fiddle, a Tibetan horn, and other random sound-makers from around the globe, resulting a truly horrifying accompaniment to what would, if only it weren't so funny, make for a terrifying scene.
All in all, this soundtrack stands out as one worthy of any collector’s hoard. With this truly impressive first-time effort, Guymon offers a refreshing return to the way films were scored in the past, while still finding solid footing in current trends and technology. Two Front Teeth is a startling entry into the highly competitive film music arena for this 31 year old that demonstrates a provocatively keen sense of melody, a mastery and breadth of technique, and an aesthetic sense of mood and pacing that is dead on.
