HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist TV Torso

  • Tim Murray

TV Torso’s early 7-inches got at the steadily beating heart of vintage soul and British Invasion in a precise, skeletal manner unheard ’round these parts since Spoon turned in Girls Can Tell. The subsequent six-song “mini LP”—pared down from 18 songs tracked in the band’s barn-cum-studio—Status Quo Vadis renews TV Torso’s commitment to including only what’s most vital. That said, the band has decided to solidify its live show with recently added guitarist Ben Maddox, who adds the dramatic touch he learned in Hundred Visions to TV Torso’s grab bag of thrills.
