Details
What can one expect from an artful, aging mod? Cult favourites, the Television Personalities, offer up two new, well crafted, melodic and spirited pop songs on this 7". Both sides are steeped in the charming intelligence and humour of the band's aurteur Daniel Treacy. In "My New Tattoo," Treacy lays out his aged and vulnerable self and builds into a Who-like reverie of take me for what I am! Here the band is focused, direct, and in top form. A rocking, rallying call to those who may never quite fit in and know its for the better! Drumming is provided by John Bennett who fans will recognize as an original member dating back to the mid-70s and who also appeared on the John Peel favoured first single, "14th Floor/ Oxford St. W1." "Funny He Never Married" paints a wistful and reflective mood of which Treacy has always been a master of conveying. This is a sound which has launched so many bands and scenes; all of whom owe Daniel Treacy a nod (or a wink) for inspiration. Sensitive and personal, yet utterly familiar and comforting in spirit.
