When it comes to music, people
tend to overlook those ‘minor’ details like
melody, focusing on the musical mess of the trash and
flash of the moment instead. Starting off as notes scribbled
in a journal, Human Television’s delicately crafted
tunes, composed of beautifully simplistic lyrics, use
the idea of a song to evoke deep unexplainable emotions
among their listeners.
Drawing inspiration from other melody-centered late 80’s
artists like The Kinks, The Wedding Present, and R.E.M.,
these four musicians from Gainesville, FL are as talented
as they are organic, opting to craft hauntingly melodic
tunes that transform you instead of ‘studio-fying’
and succumbing to the Pro Tools touch-ups that seemingly
defines music today. Breathing new life into the ‘less
is more’ theory, Human Television brings you stripped
down songs that sound as perfect spinning on your record
player as they do live.
Those not lucky enough to see them this summer during
their cross-country tour can check them out on XFM Radio
and BBC Radio 1. Their latest album “All Songs Written
By: Human Television” has been getting international
critical acclaim. With just one listen, you’ll be
singing their praise too.
So when all this fuss about the latest ‘it’
indie bands like Bloc Party are over, look out for Human
Television to be stealing the Fadar and Rolling Stone
spotlights. |
