Cartoons

TV Priest return with Cartoons, their most ambitious and expansive album to date. Moving beyond the band’s acclaimed post-punk foundations. Cartoons blends driving guitars, programmed drums, field recordings and dance- influenced low- end into a sound that is both cinematic and intimate. Across themes of always-on culture, digital overload, hyper-reality and the shifting landscape of modern life, the record captures the confusion, anxiety, tenderness and resilience of existing in a world that never stops moving. Featuring the abrasive lead single “The Mud Never Dries” – a collision of post- punk, drum & bass textures, electronic sampling and spoken word. Cartoons finds TV Priest pushing their sound further than ever before. Written and recorded as a layered, collaborative work, Cartoons holds the digital and organic in the same frame, balancing raw human emotion with experimental production and widescreen ambition. It is an album of anger, grief and connection, but also of small moments of clarity amid the noise. More exposed, more adventurous and more emotionally direct than its predecessors, Cartoons stands as a bold evolution from one of the UK’s most distinctive contemporary bands
