A masterclass in restraint and architectural guitar play. Television’s 1992 return is a shadowy, sophisticated collection of nocturnal art-rock and elliptical noir.

This album feels like a conversation held in hushed tones in the corner of a dimly lit jazz club, yet it remains firmly rooted in the vocabulary of rock. Released fourteen years after their initial peak, it eschews the jagged, nervous energy of the 1970s for a more 'scaled-down' and 'exquisite' design. The guitars of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd still interlock with mathematical precision, but here they sound like city lights reflecting off wet asphalt: cool, distant, and shimmering. It is a record of shadows and suggestions rather than anthems.
