about
‘TV Personality’ has late night video game vibes, with a sense of panic and urgency. The electro-beats creep up on you and hold your arms behind your back whilst desperate accounts of ‘screen life’ are snarled into your face.
“The pandemic locked us away and forced us to live life through a screen. We each became a TV personality, broadcasting from the rabbit hole for work, study & play.” - Michael Webster
lyrics
Coming at an entire nation.
Streaming from the eye of a glowing orb.
Holding out to hold your attention.
Collecting sets of eyes coz i’m bored.
I smack the set so I can realign my eyes,
pull the plug so I can reset my mind.
Reaching at the thought of desperation.
A reputation for me to keep.
Are you watching? (TV Personality)
Wading in a lake of stagnation.
Movement in the area starts to stop.
Bubbles start to pop on the surface but underneath is frozen on the spot.
I smack the surface so I can re-awaken all life,
Spit fire so I can melt the layer of ice.
Reaching at the thought of desperation.
A reputation for me to keep.
We stream on screen from the rabbit hole.
On screen, we stream from the cold.

Brutal, battering industrial music from this Austin, TX, group rolls in like a thundercloud—pitch-black and threatening. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2016
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
