TV Priest

“they’re just a cut above for me” - BBC6 Music, Lauren Laverne (‘It Was Beautiful’) 

“Stark and sinister, this track is a Nick Cave-esque lament on urban displacement and a longing for beautiful landscapes.” - The Times (‘Limehouse Cut’) 

“On these new tracks, vocalist Charlie Drinkwater continues to resemble Joe Talbot, but I can just as easily hear Nick Cave, Jim Morrison, and Protomartyr’s Joe Casey in those bellows. His bandmates sound spry and adventurous, brimming with ideas and kinetic energy.” - Stereogum (‘Bury Me In My Shoes’)

“Fuzzed-out post punk from London four-piece…harsh, brittle eruptions offering up a variety of teeth-rattling noises.” -  UNCUT (Uppers)

“The post-punk band have caught attention with a string of superb singles, exemplifying their scorching post-punk sound.” - CLASH (Uppers)

“Uppers…should rubber stamp TV Priest as one of, if not your favourite new act”  - The Line Of Best Fit (Uppers)

“Ragged yet tight, sprawling yet focussed, it’s a singular vision of a disparate time.”  - DORK ★★★★ (Uppers)

Already gaining support from BBC6 Music yesterday, TV Priest share new single ‘It Was Beautiful’, taken from forthcoming album My Other People out 17th June via Sub Pop Records.  

Vocalist Charlie Drinkwater says of the single, “‘It Was Beautiful’ is a love song about the past, present, and future. A reminder that love is the most essential thing. The words came fast; it was recorded in a single emotive session, the first song we wrote together after my family had gone through a difficult experience and I think you can hear that in the kind of melancholy euphoria that plays out as the song progresses. In some ways it’s a coda to the whole album; a reminder to guard your hope fiercely.” 

The dizzying single-shot performance visual was directed, produced, and filmed by the band in East London. 

My Other People features today’s single, and additional highlights ‘Limehouse Cut’, ‘One Easy Thing’ and ‘Bury Me In My Shoes’. It was produced by band member/multi-instrumentalist Nic Bueth, and is now available to preorder from Sub Pop.  

LPs purchased through megamart.subpop.com, and select independent retailers in North America will receive the Opaque Pink w/white smoke vinyl version (while supplies last). Meanwhile, LP preorders in the U.K. and Europe  through select independent retailers will receive the album on clear vinyl. 

My Other People is out 17th June 2022 via Sub Pop Records
