Influences
mostly sounds that we live through. sometimes, that's records. sometimes, that's lonely nights on back porches. sometimes, that's the restless din of the city. sometimes, that's nothing at all.
Sounds Like
bells, drones, loops, beats, the occasional voice.
"Ominous and ambient, TLVS (delivers) a fascinating sonic introduction sewing together dub and ambient textures." - RVA magazine;
"one of the best live shows that Richmond will see all year" - "the beautiful confusion", WRIR
"Building atop cinematic melodies with loops, drones and interlaced percussion, these Northern neighbors showcase a sonic bravura that links them to Do Make Say Think, Boom Bip and Tortoise. Think big." - Independent Weekly
