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.
This double a-side 7", limited to just 300 copies worldwide, showcases the band surfing a swirling wave of reverb- drenched organ, garage- rock guitars, hypnomotorik bass and pounding, ritualistic drums. Preferring to work in a village hall deep in the wilds of the east British countryside, JTV again recorded live to an old 8 track machine with The Wytches’ Kristian Bell.In 2020 the band released their five track EP III slice of motorik space twang before III calling in top remixers including UNKLE, Gabe Gurnsey, and James Welsh for a 2021 RSD Exclusive. EP III had followed two previous critically acclaimed and quickly sold out EPs. The band will release their much anticipated debut album in 2022.Only Japanese Television are 100% space surf.

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.
