Album Description:
This is their first album in eleven years. It's as sad as it is uplifting, as gentle as it is noisy. Ever since releasing their first DIY-single in 1977, "14th Floor", and the classic follow-up "Part Time Punks" later the same year, The TVPs have always been about Dan Treacy's songwriting; his honest words and unique voice. In the '90s Dan lost the plot. Drugs took over his life. Two summers ago, he turned up while serving a prison sentence on a boat on the shore of Southwest England. Regrets, he's had more than most. They're here for everyone to see in every line of of his songs.
Amazon.com:
Like an arrhythmic, snarly riposte to the Gorillaz, the Television Personalities have openly embraced their dark places here – years after Daniel Treacy vanished into drug addiction and prison. The sounds emerge non-linearly, with electronic sheens and melodica answered by broken-back, lightly clustery piano, and some roiling tom-tom drum rolls. Treacy blurts out in "Ex-Girlfriend Club" that he's "still Danny from the block … Maybe I should get a tattoo and some BLING BLING," a plea for his cleaved heart and more love. The disjointedness is rampant, staking the band's longstanding territory far to the left of Pavement and the ilk of indie rock/indie pop bands the TPs so obviously influenced. These are post-punk veterans non-pareil, and they deconstruct their own thing obsessively on My Dark Places, even tackling vocal snippets and quotes from the Pistols and Lou Reed against a ridiculously upbeat, lo-fi piano on "Velvet Underground." The guitars grind sporadically, and Treacy reclaims his place as an agitated visionary unflinchingly. --Andrew Bartlett
