TV Star's '90s-as-hell alt-coded pop-rock is immensely appealing. If you've heard the Seattle/Tacoma band's recent singles from debut album Music For Heads, oh, you already know. And if you haven't checked out the band yet, the epiphany will be all yours when you press play on their new video.
"The Package" is a dreamy midtempo song, sort of ballad-adjacent, landing somewhere between Pearl Jam (those Hendrix-y lead parts!) and Teenage Fanclub (those jangling chords and arpeggios!). There's maybe some "Champagne Supernova" in there too, minus the bombast? And Ash Nagel's gently commanding vocal performance seals the deal.
"The song I believe was the last that we wrote ahead of recording but ended up setting the tone for the entire record," guitarist Che Hise-Gattone notes. "This is also the song that everyone was crying in the studio when Ash was recording vocals." Watch below.
Music For Heads is out 4/24 on Father/Daughter. Pre-order it here.
