TV Priest have released their second album My Other People today – revisit Live4ever’s review and stream the album right here.
“There is a universal but not well publicised side to the human condition which can be applied most to those who get success before they’re ready for it; 99 times out of 100, it comes with baggage and keeps receipts.”
“Musicians, especially those locked into the industry’s relentless pump-and-dump hype cycle, are more victims of this than many others across the arts and, despite their relative underground status, TV Priest are as eloquent an illustration of the syndrome as any other.”
“Barely formed, their coruscating 2019 debut single House Of York won the quartet of Londoners a deal with Sub-Pop for their widely acclaimed first album, Uppers. Dropping during lockdown, its impact still surprised the band – singer Charlie Drinkwater later admitting: ‘I wasn’t prepared…It was all very quick. It felt kind of divorced from reality’.”
