Automata Exotica

Tip Top

A combination of cyclical, mechanical rhythms and heavy bass, 'Automata Exotica' is louder, tighter, bolder and rawer than anything japanese television have done before. Informed by ufo encounters, ritualism, robots, northern soul, and nuclear weapons, the space-surf-psych-rock quartet's second album is a fuzzy, funky barn-stormer.

Much anticipated, the band's frst full length release sees the four- piece surf a swirling wave of reverb-drenched organ, garage-rock guitars, hypno-motorik bass and pounding, ritualistic drums. Preferring to work in a village hall deep in the wilds of the east British countryside, JTV recorded live to an old 8 track machine with The Wytches' Kristian Bell.In 2020 the band released their third EP slice of off- piste cosmic- beach psych before calling in top remixers including UNKLE, Gabe Gurnsey, and James Welsh for a 2021 Record Store Exclusive around a headline UK tour culminating in a triumphant homecoming London show at The Lexington and playing with friends Snapped Ankles. EP III had followed two previous critically acclaimed and quickly sold out EPs supported heavily by key alternative tastemakers from Marc Riley & Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music to the likes of So Young, NME, and Clash.

EP I & EP II Plus The Mark Riley BBC 6Music Session

Tip Top

From the ashes of three psychedelic rock bands, rose Japanese Television, Al Brown, Alex Lawton, Ian Thorn and Tim David Jones - who formed with a shared vision of creating a modern psychedelic space-surf-soundscape. The band went into the studio with Kristian Bell of The Wytches who captured the raw spirit of their live performance, recording to 8-track tape. The tracks make up their debut self-titled 2018 EP, which was named as an EP of the year by both Gideon Coe and Amy Lame at BBC 6 Music, and in 2019 EP II, which both sold out physically. The new release combines the sold out EP I & EP II with the addition of four brilliant bonus live Mark Riley BBC 6 Music Session tracks recorded in 2019.
