This Is Not TV

Though it has only been two short years since Glaswegian post-rock-electronicers Errors released their debut album ‘It’s Not Something But It Is Like Whatever’, Errors have not been idle, and the fruits of their two-year labour, ‘Come Down With Me’, is ready to roll and, um, post-rock.

The riff is a nice mix of hard rock and nihilist eighties indie, Ben King has a nice line in mildly affected vocals (semi-fop as opposed to full fop) and the lyrics lie on an isthmus between the populist torch songs of Snow Patrol and the blackened futurescapes of Sisters of Mercy.

Pleasing and anti bland but does not go all the way.
