TV GHOST - MASS DREAM (LP)

TV Ghost Mass Dream on LP

Taking their name from the phenomenon of analog television frequency disturbances, Lafayette, Indiana’s TV Ghost conjures an especially sludgy and punishing brand of art-punk. They began making a name for themselves in 2007, when their first 7", Atomic Rain, was released by Die Stasi Records. A 12" EP on Die Stasi, a single on Columbus Discount Records and their debut album, Cold Fish, followed in 2009. 

TV Ghost’s sophomore full-length, Mass Dream was recorded by Greg Ashley (Gris Gris) and it is by far their clearest and most coherent release to date. While sacrificing none of the band’s scuzz-punk dementia, Mass Dream is far less dense and impenetrable than its predecessor; Ghost frontman Tim Gick’s lyrics are clearer and his complex song structure a bit easier to get a handle on. That said, this is still blood-boiling, spastic and down right evil music by anyone’s standards.
