We’re about to take a journey through time and space with Japanese Television, traveling on a cyclone of organ and hypnotic reverb, that’ll put spirals in your eyes. This self titled debut EP from the London instrumentalists is actually slightly unnerving, along with a fuzzy familiarity. Like a 60s TV show repeated by Channel 4 on a Sunday. Think ‘Time Tunnel’, or perhaps google it.
Japanese Television sound like they’ve been on the operating table of art-punk band Clinic, with their influence heard throughout the four tracks. Opener ‘Tick Tock’ is the standout, with its effortlessly cool bass-line leading the way as the other instruments shimmer and shake, interchanging as the song takes its course to wherever it may be heading. I dare not ask, I’ll just accept my fate. Prepare to accept yours.
