TVAM returns to the sun lounger to deliver a horizontal view from the pool of self-reflection. Joe Oxley, a.k.a.

TVAM, offers "Costasol began life as two atmospheric interludes that I wrote for my last album, High Art Lite.

Over time these ideas took on a life of their own and demanded that I take another look at them.

I slowly began putting the pieces together and ended up with a track which became much more than the sum of its parts".

The resultant Costasol is a song about longing, loss and regret wrapped-up in heatwave bass and shimmering guitars, all perfectly enhanced by Mona's dreamlike vocal.TVAM self-released his much-acclaimed debut Psychic Data in the autumn of 2018, something of a cult-classic, the album joined the dots between Suicide's deconstructed rock 'n' roll, Boards of Canada's irresistible nostalgia and My Bloody Valentine's infinite noise.

High Art Lite, released in October 2022 took a different tilt to its predecessor by emphasising the immediate and the personal.

The colours were blown-out and the brightness was cranked up.It's in this world where TVAM's new Costasol EP exists.

Full of colour and noise, with a vibrant, distorted palette. Though the title track may find a home at some pool-side retreat, the subsequent tracks return to TVAM's claustrophobic realm.

Ephemerol evokes its own mutant groove, part `Midnite Vultures' Beck, part `Pretty Hate Machine' Nine Inch Nails, with Heart Attack and VHF rounding off this bold, bright, brief encounter.
