No Culture and Milk Me present:
ELVIS DEPRESSEDLY
Elvis Depressedly is the project of Mathew Lee Cothran and Delaney Mills. They live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and are inspired most by the misty smoke covered mountain that can be seen from the windows of their home, and their modest southern upbringings, steeped in superstition and old time religion. Years of self released bandcamp material eventually led to the companionship of the band with Run for Cover records, a record label in Boston, Massachussettes who helped release their first physical LP, “New Alhambra” which was met with positive reviews. In 2016 they re-released 2012 cult-favorite “Holo Pleasures” with it’s new BFF, a 6 song companion EP, “California Dreamin’”. Stylistically elvis depressedly could be described as pop realism, coy and unbothered, but with a nod to the impending darkness that awaits us all.
TV GIRL
On the surface, TV Girl is a sunny, throwback splash of ‘60s French pop and southern California soul. Yet, under that shiny veneer lays a dark heart, beating with sharp wit and cynical alienation, and the music is all the more alluring for it.
TV Girl was formed in 2010 by Brad Petering as an outlet to blend the love of Spector-esque girl-group pop with an emerging interest in hip-hop. Featuring shimmering vocals and sampled beats, the self-titled debut EP of the same year turned heads online immediately; the group’s lush vintage rhythms and timeless pop hooks were even making waves on the BBC. Soon after, Jason Wyman joined the band and they continued to release increasingly popular EPs and mixtapes between tours. In 2014, TV Girl unveiled their first full-length, the critically acclaimed French Exit.
The album keeps true to the TV Girl charm with a bevy of electronic samplings infused throughout light and airy guitars, whirring organs, and ethereal vocals. However, this record is not all summer nostalgia, and there are plenty of times where French Exit reads like disaffected fiction. The moody characters in these songs are fueled by revenge as often as love, underpinned by desperation and a deep yearning to connect.
Since its release in June of 2014, TV Girl's debut album French Exit has become something of a cult classic. Dollar signs in their eyes, they have decided to re-release the long-sold-out album on vinyl and tour the US in January of 2017
