London based post-punk four-piece TV Priest have just released their third single ‘Limehouse Cut’ from their second album ‘My Other People’ which is due for release on 17th June 2022 via Sub Pop. Stark and beautiful, ‘Limehouse Cut’ could be considered the most personal release so far from the band.
Vocalist Charlie Drinkwater says of “Limehouse Cut”:
“The song is about a feeling dislocated and displaced in an urban space you once felt you knew and ‘understood’, however it’s also a coming to terms with an idea that you never really ‘own‘ somewhere as infinitely regenerative as a city. It’s a bit of a psycho-geographical study, a little bit of pathos at my own mortality and smallness in the great tide of history. We loved the idea of something quite abstract, something that references landscape, feels mesmeric, melancholic, a little sinister but also quite beautiful.”
The band’s previously announced UK tour to support My Other People begins Sunday, October 30th in Bristol at The Louisiana, and ends Sunday, November 13th in Brighton at Green Door Store.
Preceding these shows, TV Priest also has a series of UK in-store performances to celebrate My Other People’s release week (June 17th – 23rd), which fans can gain entry to with proof of pre-order through the participating retailers including Southsea’s very own Pie & Vinyl.
The band have also announced a series of UK & EU festival performances including The Great Escape and Sound City for next month, with the likes of End Of The Road and Misty Fields to follow later in the year.
