TVAM

Friday October 9th

Somewhere within a lifetime of repeats, reruns and reboots, TVAM lives, crafting work which touch on our memories but toy with our fears. A world in which broadcast becomes performance. Hypnotic tracks which straddle an impressive spectrum of influence; with Boards of Canada’s irresistible nostalgia, Suicide’s deconstructed rock’n’roll and MBV’s infinite noise all becoming touching points in Joseph Oxley’s musical output.

Since his debut album, Psychic Data, first burst onto the scene (direct from a small bedroom studio in Wigan, UK), TVAM has defined the sound and spectacle of nostalgia’s grip on our lives; from the sloganeering of Porsche Majeure, to the electioneering of Semantics.

TVAM’s debut Psychic Data spawned an ‘Album Of The Day’ and two daytime playlists at BBC 6Music whilst signature tune ‘Porsche Majeure’ was KEXP Track Of The Day and featured in HBO’s smash-hit ‘Succession’. Follow-up High Art Lite was released on Geoff Barrow’s Invada Records and received daytime playlist for ‘Double Lucifer’ on BBC 6Music and “Album of the Week’ at Louder Than War.

Ruins, the new album, is shaped by grief, reflection, and transformation; a record that captures both the weight of loss and the strange beauty that comes with it. A dark, atmospheric record blending industrial beats, synth-pop, and post-rock textures, Ruins features "Powder Blue," "The Words," and "The Gloom".

“It’s like someone took Spiritualized to the club!!” - Lauren Laverne , BBC 6Music

“Quite simply, this is one of the best debuts in recent times. Utterly and unashamedly brilliant.” - Electronic Sound

“An industrialised pop record that throbs and pulses with an infectious, entrancing haze that’s instantly addictive ... roaring great fun” - Loud & Quiet

“A Ballardian synthesis of rock grind, mechanoid tension and ether-gazing vocals which variously recalls The Normal, Suicide and Add N to (X)” - Mojo

“Indulge in the disaffected rage that beats through this darkly glittering experimental masterpiece” – Gigwise
