Somewhere within a lifetime of repeats, reruns and reboots, TVAM lives, crafting sounds and visuals which touch on our memories but toy with our fears. A world in which broadcast becomes performance.
Hypnotic tracks which straddle an impressive spectrum of influence; with Boards of Canada's irresistible nostalgia, Suicide's deconstructed rock'n'roll and MBV's infinite noise all becoming touching points in Oxley's musical output.
Shining a harsh light on our nostalgia, TVAM's live show is something of a spectacle. Blurring the line between art and performance, Oxley is aided by long-dead technology and haunted sloganeering to broadcast his self-styled psychic data. Toying with the power of influence, TVAM offers no comfort in this age of unease.

TVAM: New Video For 'Narcissus'
"A whole new world, a whole new look; but is this you? Are you just making it up?" TVAM stares in to the black mirror and doesn't like what he sees.
Following his BBC 6 Music playlisted single, 'These Are Not Your Memories', TVAM returns in a fit of future-focused fury on his new track, 'Narcissus'. Picking at the scab of our online paranoia, Oxley asks if our digital personalities are becoming unmoored from their fleshy creators.
"Technology offers us the chance to be anyone we choose. We're only limited by our imagination and clickability. These creations have a past, present, and future all of their own. They are more integral to our own sense of identity than the bodies we are born into."
'Narcissus' stares us straight in the eye and doesn't flinch when delivering the uncomfortable truths. Sythesisers shift and bend as they recreate themselves, only to return to where they first began; beats bite at your ankles and never let up, guitars trill in high pitch like self-obsessed songbirds and somewhere deep in there, Oxley asks the questions like a shrink paid by the hour.
'Narcissus' is taken from TVAM's forthcoming debut album, 'Psychic Data', which is released on Friday 19th October 2018.

TVAM: New Single, Video, Debut Album & Tour
From behind his TVAM moniker, producer Joe Oxley reappears with his debut album 'Psychic Data' which will be released on Friday 19th October 2018.
Crafting a world which touches on our memories but toys with our fears, a world in which information seeps under your door and pools by your feet, a world in which he seeks to define everything from abandoned meanings to subconscious desires, 'Psychic Data' invites us to experience the psychodrama first hand.
Self-produced and home-recorded, the album was mixed by the steady hands of Dean Honer (Moonlandingz, I Monster, Add (N) To X) - "It was great working with Dean. I'm a massive Add N To (X) fan and knew he'd get where I was coming from after hearing what he was doing with Moonlandingz."
The album announcement is accompanied by news of a new single, 'These Are Not Your Memories'. Pouring cold Kia-Ora on a rearward-facing culture, he takes aim at our misplaced nostalgia and fires a sugar-coated pill across the bow.
See his artist page for forthcoming tour dates.

TVAM: New Single 'Psychic Data'
Under the guise of TVAM, producer Joe Oxley returns with a portion of modern-day paranoia. It is in 'PSYCHIC DATA' he seeks to define everything from abandoned meanings to subconscious desires; a world in which information seeps under your door and pools by your feet. You'll let it in, under your skin.
A Cronenberg body-horror where guitar refrains are beamed from the highest telecoms tower and vocals swoon like a siren-call for the disenfranchised. With juddering rhythms, warping basslines and melodies which melt like a Calippo on hot concrete, TVAM delivers his message straight to the subconscious. Mixed by the steady hands of master Dean Honer (Moonlandingz, I Monster, Add (N) To X), the machine is made flesh.
