Description
The self-titled debut album on limited edition heavyweight, gatefold, purple coloured vinyl from the UK's favourite space-surf psych-seekers Japanese Television.
Much anticipated, the band's first full length release sees the four-piece surf a swirling wave of reverb-drenched organ, garage-rock guitars, hypno-motorik bass and pounding, ritualistic drums. Preferring to work in a village hall deep in the wilds of the east British countryside, JTV recorded live to an old 8 track machine with The Wytches' Kristian Bell.
In 2020 the band released their third EP slice of off-piste cosmic-beach psych before calling in top remixers including UNKLE, Gabe Gurnsey, and James Welsh for a 2021 Record Store Exclusive around a headline UK tour culminating in a triumphant homecoming London show at The Lexington and playing with friends Snapped Ankles. EP III had followed two previous critically acclaimed and quickly sold out EPs supported heavily by key alternative tastemakers from Marc Riley & Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music to the likes of So Young, NME, and Clash.
Only Japanese Television are 100% space surf.
