TV Priest are back, but the sermon's not the same. "This is a song about leisure, our fears and pleasures," vocalist Charlie Drinkwater announces as the group's exhilarating new album growls into gear - words that at first may seem to signal more of what came before. After all, the Sub Pop innovators have become one of Britain's most vital new bands on the back of furious songs about a world undone by dark desires, both primal and political. But that sound Drinkwater described, tapping into our leisures - "automatic dreams on 65" screens," the lyric continues - couldn't feel more different this time around. "It's a pretty big evolution," beams the frontman, reflecting on how Cartoons sees TV Priest abandon their format post-punk pulpit. The broadcast now is a little more tender. A little more melody mixed in the Molotov cocktail. It's the sound of a band thunderously reborn. But arriving at it almost broke them apart. 

TV Priest announce new album "My Other People" out 17th June 2022 via Sub Pop Records, which is the follow up to acclaimed debut "Uppers".

Frontman Charlie Drinkwater says of the album, "My Other People is a more 'open' set of songs, both musically and in our themes; in the process of writing we found ourselves talking about things other than anger or aggression. We wanted to discuss love, loss and joy too. It's a record about personal disintegration and destruction, but also rebuilding again after this. It's also heavily rooted in place, the music being a very direct response to Britain and England in 2021, but in a more abstract and textural sense. A muddy field viewed from a train window between cities, a patch of wild flowers growing next to a motorway, sticky carpets in a suburban flat roof pub, pissing rain on an August bank holiday and the smell of diesel in an out of town supermarket car park. An angry, hopeful, shitty, beautiful island."
