86TVs (Gold Vinyl) [LP]

After making a big impression with their debut EP 'You Don't Have To Be Yourself Right Now' and selling out their recent headline tour in the UK, 86TVs 2024 have announced that their highly anticipated self-titled debut album will be released shortly afterwards. The band - made up of former Maccabees members Hugo and Felix White, their brother Will White and drummer Jamie Morrison (Stereophonics) - are previewing the album with new single 'Tambourine', which was premiered by Huw Stephens on 6 Music earlier this week.

86TVs' is the sound of a band with nothing to prove, but with everything to prove - even if only to themselves. Because when you've done it all - topped the charts, sold out multiple nights at Alexandra Palace, headlined festivals, won awards - you really have to believe in what you're doing to start all over again. Joy and escapism sparkle from every moment, from the sweeping yet delicate quadruple vocal harmonies to songs that span the spectrum from disjointed post-punk to skeletal introspection. An exciting new era is quickly gathering momentum.
