Formerly a duo, TV Girl made some noise through 2011-13 with a string of promising EPs, singles and a full-length mixtape. Founding member Trung Ngo bowed out last year, and now the other group founder Brad Petering has added a couple new members to the now LA-based group. Their official debut full-length is a playful set of lo-fi electro-pop combining nostalgic pop melodies, hip hop-influenced beats and sometimes-snarky lyrics of love and lust. 6/12/2014

An excellent extension of their recent breakthrough Benny and the Jetts EP, the first full-length mixtape of original songs from this San Diego duo is a first-rate set of playful, vintage, electronic-tinged, lo-fi pop that impressively fuses 60s-steeped pop and doo-wop with groovy, infectious breakbeats. Full of quick, sharp, quirky highlights, The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle recalls a giddy union between The Russian Futurists and The Go! Team. Free download via http://tvgirl.bandcamp...
