Translated from the Threes And Will's native Estonian language Teemanttee means diamond road. Teemanttee is full of eclectic material that builds through minimalistic repetitiveness. In the recordings Threes & Will uses excerpts from a little known 1984 film “Hundiseaduse aegu” [“Time of Wolf Laws”] as well as borrows theme from 1930s Soviet Mongolia repressed by the Stalinists, resulting in a fascinating disjointed sound. Meaning lies underneath the sonic layers and patterns, uncovering itself like a unearthed diamond - Ba Da Bing Records

Some reviews:
I discovered this great record called Teemanttee by an Estonian musician named Threes and Will a while back. Strange beautifully sculpted noise pieces. Highly recommended. - John Dieterich (Deerhoof).

Threes And Will’s “Teemanttee” is the glorious result of meshing together no wave and psychedelic into a single unified sound. Easy to get lost in, the hypnotic repetition serves the pieces well as they create freewheeling blurs of sound. Fidelity is an afterthought as Threes And Will wear their lo-fi on their sleeve. Honestly it could not be any other way as there is a certain timeless charm to the album. Without any distinct origin the pieces feel as if they could have come out of a particularly spirited late 60s jam. Riffs are fuzzed out of their mind, rhythms loose, and the distortion reigns supreme over the entirety of the album.
A singular guitar riff burrows itself into the skull with the strange approach of “Hundiseaduse aegu”. Continuing down a path of mangled noise is the glorious maniacal work of “Leftist Deviation of Bat-Ochiryn Eldev-Ochir”. On this piece Threes And Will incorporates a beat of sorts to anchor the chaos, but the result is something right out of the Royal Trux’s hallucinatory “Twin Infinitives” album. “This Is An Outrage” possesses a decipherable beat and riff, though the urgent far-off vocals continue to ensure that the sound remains unknowable. Fat, heavy levels of distortion define the doom-laden “Postapokalüptiline rännak”. By far the highlight of the album is the closing trip of “Sea Fourth pt. 3 (bonus track)” which offers a lovely wash of sound to bring things to a contemplative conclusion.
With “Teemanttee” Threes And Will create a bizarre swirling sea of sound one that refuses to be pigeonholed. -http://www.beachsloth.com/threes-and-will-teemanttee.html
The only situation in which playing this music would be in anyway appropriate, would be if you were invited by an elderly aunt to pay a visit to the understaffed lunatic asylum in which she had been residing ever since she took her computer in for repair and the full extent of her plans to kidnap, torture and eventually kill Tom Cruise was discovered.
There you sat, alone, on the plastic chair in the lobby, before being led passed the many insulated rooms in which a parade of lost souls caterwauled endlessly and out onto the veranda where aunty sat; arms that chain, eyes that lie, and upon noticing you standing there with a look of undiluted terror on your face, she leant down and pressed the play button on her stereo cassette recorder.
The sounds that you heard are the sounds on this recording and they will haunt you until your final breath leaves your body. - Collective Zine -

/../ If I close my eyes while it is playing, I go even deeper into it & imagine a step foot paced school bus honking it’s horn while slowly but surely approaching this group of snail impersonators. Bizarre, but true. /.../ So yes, with the exception of the jumping rope moment at the start, this album seems to go easily down the slippery slopes of dragging us down in slow motion noisy doom rock where we can hang out with snail like attitudes and attire. If that’s what you are into, please feel free to join the session:
