Teeth Dreams, the seventh studio album by The Hold Steady, was released in 2014. This album marked a significant shift in the band's lineup and sonic direction.
- The album was recorded at three different studios: The Castle, Sweet Tea, and VuDu Studios. It was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and the band. Though it received generally positive reviews, it did not chart on the Billboard 200.
- Teeth Dreams was the first album to feature guitarist Steve Adams and drummer Bobby Drake. The album's release was preceded by the single "On The Highway" in January 2014. It was the band's only release on the Razor & Tie label.
- The album was met with mixed reactions from critics, with some praising its rawer sound and others lamenting the absence of former guitarist Tad Kubler's distinctive guitar work. It was the band's first album in five years not to feature keyboardist Franz Nicolay.
The Hold Steady is a rock band from Brooklyn, known for their narrative lyrics and blend of classic rock and indie sensibilities. Teeth Dreams found the band in a transitional period, following the departure of key members and before they re-established their core sound.
