TV Priest have announced the release of their debut album, Uppers, out on 5th February 2021 and they have also signed to Sub Pop.
In celebration of this news, they have shared the album’s lead single “Decoration“, with theatrical video directed by Joe Wheatley.
On “Decoration”, TV Priest’s Charlie Drinkwater said: “We often think of it as a ‘walking down the road’ song, like you’re strolling along a street and lots of little vignettes of life are coming your way. The absurd in the mundane feels apt too. Once again this sense of a kind of late capitalism, Ayn Rand style ‘personal progression’ being an utter myth. It’s all just Decoration! Probably a favourite from the record.”
Listen/watch “Decoration” below:
