After making a big impression with their debut EP ‘You Don’t Have To Be Yourself Right Now’ and selling out their recent UK headline tour, 86TVs now announce that their eagerly anticipated self-titled debut album will be released on August 2nd. The band – consisting of Maccabees alumni Hugo and Felix White, their brother Will White, and drummer Jamie Morrison (Stereophonics) – launch the album with the new single ‘Tambourine’, which received its first play earlier this week from Huw Stephens at 6 Music.
‘86TVs’ is the sound of a band with nothing to prove, yet conversely with everything to prove – if only to themselves. For if you’ve done it all – topping charts, selling out multiple nights at Alexandra Palace, headlining festivals, winning awards – you really need to believe in what you’re doing to commit to starting all over again from scratch. Joy and escapism sparks from every moment, from the rousing yet tender four-way vocal harmonies to songs that span the spectrum from ragged post-punk to skeletal introspection. An exciting new era is rapidly gathering momentum.
