Info for Babyteeth

Trumpet player Dan Coulthurst releases his debut album "Babyteeth". The album explores themes of love, racism, anxiety and self-acceptance.

“I came up with the name Babyteeth by thinking about how our physical bodies naturally change over time. Whereas typically, we tend to neglect the need for our mindsets to change. Often, we hold on to things from the past that predetermine our present day. Baby teeth are essential when you are a child. You are smaller so they fit perfectly in your mouth, and you have no need to cut through solid foods that your body is unable to digest. However, as your body physically changes, you outgrow the need for smaller weaker teeth, as they would simply break when attempting to eat more robust food. This cycle of intense pain would result in the body not being able to get the nourishment that it needs to survive. The same goes for our mental well-being. By engaging in a lifestyle that dulls your perceptions of your surroundings and by ignoring the opportunity for discovery and growth, you deprive your mind of the goodness that it needs to live a fulfilling life. The situations will change but the cycle of pain will continue. Instead, by surrounding yourself with people that challenge the way you see the world, by prioritising the things that fill you with joy and give your life meaning and by being connected to others whilst allowing yourself to be open to new ideas, I’ve found that this the path to giving your soul the nourishment that it craves. As I have grown older, I feel incredibly excited by the prospect of a new challenging situation as I know that it is an opportunity to grow and to learn new things about myself and the world. This album is about the difficult and beautiful journey of letting go of the past and embracing the uncertainty that comes with the future.” (Dan Coulthurst)
