Nya Perspektiv
Cudighi, 2019
8/10
A collection of tunes that are as colorful as the cover art, TV dinner Education’s iconoclastic brand of international psychedelia is a captivating one, where few genres are off limits on this live set recorded in Sweden at Nya Perspektiv in 2016.
“Dyslectic Clam: A” starts the listen bare and eerily calm, before bursting into an aberrant display of percussive skill and unpredictable art-rock , and this continues to the fragmented and hypnotic “Easy Busy”, where voices are used like instruments, as well as the guitar focused “Excellent Choice”, where punk ideas come into the experimental equation.
The back half of the listen offers the extremely unusual “Little Birds”, as alien like voices guide the buzzing and fragmented approach, while “Figure It Out” incorporates jazz sensibilities into the genre defying exploration. “Exploration Borders” ends the listen percussive heavy and rhythmic, with a throbbing, dissonant execution that’s both mesmerizing and perplexing, but in the best way.
Spearheaded by Loti Solovitsky (vocals, drums, tapes, FX) and Julesy Bejbi (toy guitar, tapes), don’t let the fact that this one is on a cassette stop you from experiencing TV dinner Education’s inimitable and artistic vision, cause if you don’t have access to a tape deck, it comes with download code.
