{"product_id":"my-other-people","title":"My Other People","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithout a brutal evaluation of their own becoming, \u003cstrong\u003eTV Priest\u003c\/strong\u003e might have never made their second album. Heralded as the next big thing in post-punk, they were established as a bolshy, sharp-witted outfit, the kind that starts movements with their political ire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere was of course truth in that, but it was a suit that quickly felt heavy on its wearer’s shoulders, leaving little room for true vulnerability. \u003cem\u003eMy Other People\u003c\/em\u003e maintains a strong sense of earth-rooted emotion, taking advantage of the opportunity to physically connect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing \"\u003cem\u003eSaintless\u003c\/em\u003e\" (the closing song from \u003cem\u003eUppers\u003c\/em\u003e) as something of a starting point, Drinkwater set about crafting lyrics that allowed him to articulate a deeper sense of personal truth, using music as a vessel to communicate with his bandmates about his depleting mental health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Speaking very candidly, it was written at a time and a place where I was not, I would say, particularly well,” he says. “There was a lot of things that had happened to myself and my family that were quite troubling moments. Despite that I do think the record has our most hopeful moments too; a lot of me trying to set myself reminders for living, just everyday sentiments to try and get myself out of the space I was in.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“It was a bit of a moment for all of us where we realised that we can make something that, to us at least, feels truly beautiful,” agrees Bueth. “Brutality and frustration are only a part of that puzzle, and despite a lot of us feeling quite disconnected at the time, overwhelmingly beautiful things were also still happening.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis tension between existential fear born from the constant uncertainties of life, and an affirmative, cathartic urge to seize the moment, is central to \u003cem\u003eMy Other People\u003c\/em\u003e, a record that heals by providing space for recognition, a ground zero in which you’re welcome to stay awhile but which ultimately only leads up and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eTV Priest\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is a follow-up that feels truly, properly them; free of bravado, unnecessary bluster or any audience pressure to commit solely to their original sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50447781757259,"sku":"1149750","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50447781495115,"sku":"1149749","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50447782117707,"sku":"1149748","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a87dba1c-df44-4de3-841b-6a9446e2418b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727082163","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/my-other-people","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
