Mass Dream

2011 release from this Art-Punk outfit. Taking their name from the phenomenon of analog television frequency disturbances, Lafayette, Indiana’s TV Ghost conjures an especially sludgy and punishing brand of Art-Punk. TV Ghost’s sinister sound, which echoes the Scientists, Suicide and The Cramps’ ’70s output, and frantic live show won them an underground following. The band’s trek across Europe in 2010 left a trail of busted gear, annoyed booking agents and new fans behind them.
