Turn Off Your Television – Swede As Can Be!

I’m pretty much digging this album of the same name by “Turn Off Your Television”. Honestly there is not a “throw-away” song in the lot and the free offerings below are among those that rose to the top for me. It is a well made album and being offered completely free at bandcamp below. The sound is well described by others, but I would add that some of the tunes have a cool slow-wave sound without being droning or overly saturated. Fill up your “aural” cup today with Turn Off Your Television.
