Murmur Tooth is the songs of multi-instrumentalist and producer, Leah Hinton. Hinton grew up in rural New Zealand and played classical piano from the age of 5. At secondary school she played the oboe and cello in her school orchestra, and at age 16 discovered Nirvana and taught herself the guitar. Hinton went on to study music at Otago University where she formed avant-metal band El Schlong. She spent 8 years touring Australasia and Europe before settling in Berlin, Germany. In Berlin she became fascinated with recording, producing and mixing as an extension of the creative process. She built herself a small home studio and began making music under the name Murmur Tooth.

Murmur Tooth had a brief stint as a full band and released "The Room EP" together in 2016. Hinton then continued Murmur Tooth as a solo project, releasing the "Dropping Like Flies" EP in 2017, and "Memory" in 2018. Her full length album "A Fault In This Machine" was released in March 2020 from lockdown in Berlin.

Murmur Tooth is now focussed on her ongoing multi-genre collaboration with Berlin house DJ/producer, Lars Moston. The couple are exploring how their polar opposite musical backgrounds can clash and combine. They are currently working on music that ranges from instrumental club tracks to vocal-based pop songs. 2022 saw their first releases together, starting with an official remix of Claptone’s single, “Beautiful” on Different Recordings. Their full length album “No Time to Explain”, released May 2023, is a genre-wandering ensemble combining Leah’s composition skills and vocal hooks with Lars’s production magic. The songs are dripping with layered harmonies and bursting with the weird and wonderful sounds of salvaged childhood toys and repurposed household appliances.
