Chalk Teeth haven’t slowed down for a moment. Throughout 2025, the Los Angeles–based trio — Karolina Wallace (vocals, guitar), Adam Wallace (guitar), and Jason Miller (bass, synths, drums, production, engineering) — split their time between stages in L.A. and New York, steadily sharpening their live presence. That momentum now carries into their next chapter: the band’s debut album, slated for release in early 2026.

Before the full-length arrives, Chalk Teeth are officially unveiling “Struck,” a track longtime fans may recognize from the group’s live sets, where it has been a consistent highlight since 2024.

“Struck” captures the band’s sonic identity in full: a dense blend of shoegaze textures and motorik dark wave, layered with blackened synths, sheets of noise-soaked guitar, Polish vocals, and the unyielding drive of a drum machine. Chalk Teeth describe their goal as creating a hypnotic, ritual-like dance experience, and the track delivers — unfolding as a slow-burn, minimal wave ballad centered on obsession, tension, and release.

The single is accompanied by a stark black-and-white video directed by filmmaker Thomas Revington, filmed inside an airplane hangar repurposed as a wrestling gym, adding a raw physicality to the song’s atmosphere.

Details around the album’s title and exact release date remain under wraps, but the record was written, recorded, and mixed entirely by the band at their North Hollywood rehearsal space, underscoring the project’s fully DIY spirit.
