NOTV fell into existence with a found organ, broken bass guitar, borrowed drum and some old doom poetry. Lucy Cliché executes distorted keyboard melodies, while Matthew P Hopkins plays psyched out bass guitar, which is all kept together with pounding drum machine beats. This is their debut release a self-titled 7" capturing the spectrum of sound NOTV creates. Side A features the single 'All Aboard!' the self-proclaimed dance floor hit, plus the short and sharp 'God Nor Devil'. (alternate versions to the Blood Pressure Sessions CD) Side B features the slow doomy 'A Sunken Piece of Rubbish'.

"Sydney based duo with keys, female vocals, bass and drumbox. Unlike some groups with a line-up like this, they stay away from beats and focus on No Wave (or perhaps, 'little band' harshness. Very stark in a black and white kind of way, and really quite hep"- The Wire.
