(Punk Rock / Garage / Lo-Fi) TV Colours - Purple Skies, Toxic River - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

Dream Damage is excited to announce the release of TV Colours debut Purple Skies, Toxic River, an album some six years in the making.
After scrapping two completed versions of the record along the way, Canberra's TV Colours has finally realised his long-held vision. Purple Skies, Toxic River is a densely layered debut: the product of teenage obsessions with heavy metal, punk and '80s cinema threaded together with sound collages and sonic vignettes.
In Beverly, the album’s pop centrepiece, chugging guitars, wavering synths and thundering drum machines bring home a soaring, anthemic chorus.
“Though the synthesizers and harsh drum machines give "Beverly" a more synthetic edge than Japandroids' Post-Nothing, the intoxicating and intoxicated do-or-die urgency is there, as Kill's yelpy vocals and the scuzzy guitars make "Beverly" sound like it was recorded on a run- away train. It's an anthem forged by a perfectionist, and there are few better ways for an artist to stress, "There is no Plan B," than with the high-stakes emoting of "Beverly." - Ian Cohen (Pitchfork)
