TV Priest

My Other People

You can’t say TV Priest is just a post-punk or an indie rock band after listening to this album. They push the envelope while keeping it genuine to themselves and their audience.

There’s no doubt that this is a new era for the London four-piece as they endeavour to express a truer version of themselves while maintaining their hardy punk appearance.

They have somehow changed direction yet maintained that gritty sermon like darkness we all have a tendency to grab on to.

This is a triumphant collection of songs that will enchant you, make you relate to them and captivate you in equal measure, all soundtracked by some of the best soundscapes you will hear all year.

It’s full of genuinely bracing moments that deftly thread punk grit with austere humour and unabashed sincerity. It’s just a shame that what they’re best at seems to have been done so well so recently by other bands.

The band retreated into the more self-contained approach which has spawned My Other People.

My Other People sees TV Priest continue to map out their own increasingly intriguing identity.

Cacophony has peaks and troughs; to push themselves to the next level, the four-piece need to find more rock in their noise.
