86TV's

After making a big impression with their debut EP ‘You Don’t Have To Be Yourself Right Now’ and selling out their recent UK headline tour, 86TVs now announce that their eagerly anticipated self-titled debut album will be released on August 2nd.

A five-year accumulation of work that started immediately after the Maccabees farewell shows, ‘86TVs’ is the sound of a band of brothers (literally) with nothing to prove, yet conversely with everything to prove – if only to themselves. For if you’ve done it all – topping charts, selling out multiple nights at Alexandra Palace, headlining festivals, winning awards – you really need to believe in what you’re doing to commit to start again from scratch. Joy and escapism sparks from every moment, from the rousing yet tender four-way vocal harmonies to songs that span the spectrum from ragged post-punk to skeletal introspection. An exciting new era is rapidly gathering momentum.
