Minimal indie-pop makes up the band's debut EP, All Songs Written By: Human Television. It's a seven-song release that doesn't so much contribute to any kind of new wave revival as actually catapult you completely back into the past. Sandwich the disc between a Talking Heads album and a Wire release, and you'll forget the millennium ever even rolled over. "The band's music is poppy and melodious like Unrest, but it is also shaded with the dark jangle of the Go-Betweens or any number of Creation bands." - Splendid

User Reviews

   Michael Britten - Old Bridge, NJ, USA
If you find a problem with Human Television sounding like a hurried, more potent version of early REM, or a more focused Wedding Present, it's yours alone; Human Television make purposely derivative music, having gone on record to say their existence as a band is to just make the kind of music they used to listen to, and still love. Simple, straightforward, and fun -- just like the tracks on All Songs Written By: Human Television. Most of it shambles along, happy enough, but that just lends added contrast and weight to the slower (and decidedly kickass) ''Tell Me What You Want'' or the rocking rowdiness of closer ''Sick With Redundancy Check''. Yes, I just said ''rocking rowdiness''.
