About the album

Rising from the same CBGB scene as Patti Smith, Ramones and Talking Heads, Television rehearsed relentlessly before recording at A&R Recording in New York, crafting taut, lyrical songs that stretch out into glorious guitar dialogues.

The ten-minute title track is a soaring masterpiece, "See No Evil" is a thrilling opener, "Venus" is dreamy and wry, "Friction" crackles, and "Elevation" and "Torn Curtain" are gorgeous.

Two guitars in conversation, neither interrupting. Rarely has politeness sounded this thrilling.
