TV Sound wrapped up their Rock & Roll For Young Beginners singles trilogy like 100 weeks ago, so it’s good to have them back and turning the page with a new chapter: The TV Sound Record Club.

This six-song EP (out on Killing Horse Records) finds the band comfortably suspended in an ’80s time capsule filled with power pop and new wave. Imagine Tom Petty and The Cars teaming up with the sharper, artsy side of the decade’s radio underground. The songs are expertly constructed, tight without feeling stiff, and delivered with a spark that never burns out.

There’s craftsmanship here, but also genuine enthusiasm. TV Sound know their reference points, landing firmly on the cool side of dad rock.
