Teebs Did It Again

The last we heard from Mtendere Mandowa, aka Teebs, was 2020. Today, he returns with a two-track single comprising “Did It Again (feat. Panda Bear)” and “NES”.

“Did It Again” combines Teebs’ immersive, melodic productions with the psychedelic wails of Noah Lennox, who previously appeared on Teebs’ 2019 track “Studie.” Meanwhile, “NES” is a quiet, contained lagoon of harps, muffled beats, and croaks and chirps of wildlife. 

Teebs’ last release, Anicca (2019), included collaborations from Panda Bear as well as Sudan Archives, Pink Siifu and Anna Wise. It drew widespread acclaim from Billboard, Bandcamp (Album of the Day), XLR8R (Best LPs of 2019) and Pitchfork, who summed up the project as “a set of effortless, shape-shifting tracks that make time stand still.”

In the interim between new releases, Teebs keeps busy as not only a musician but a visual artist as well. His recent European tour included a performance with the London Contemporary Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall. He hosts a show on Dublab called “Record Seed,” where he connects like-minded creatives across the blockchain space. Alongside his musical output, Teebs also paints, and his creations have appeared at New Image Art, HVW8 Gallery and Space1520 in Los Angeles, as well as Maison Kitsuné New York Perry-Archives & Gallery in New York. Not limited to canvases or blockchains, he has also collaborated on clothing designs with Ron Herman and Obey Clothing.
