Hey. We released our first full-length project in the form of a mixtape. It’s called “The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle.” and you can download it here: http://on.fb.me/Kfqe9W.  If streaming is more your bag (no judgement) preview it at our bandcamp: http://tvgirl.bandcamp.com/ Here’s a short letter about the release that we sent to our e-mail list:  Hello, this is Trung and Brad from pop duo TV Girl. We’re reaching out to let you know about our debut mixtape, “The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle,” put out with the help of Greedhead Music. First of all, you may be saying: “Hey wait a second! Mixtape? It sounds an awful lot like an album to me.” You’re right to ask that question, and the truth is that the difference between the two these days is pretty arbitrary. I guess the major factor that puts this release in the “mixtape” camp is that we’re giving it away for free. So yeah. With that cleared up, let’s talk about the mixtape! After the success of our first two short EPs, we wanted to make something completely different. Something that was sprawling and ambitious and conceptual. So that’s what we did. This record is our farewell love letter to sampling. As an unsigned band, we are in a unique position to take advantage of this legally nebulous practice, and we wanted to push that particular aspect of our songwriting to its logical extreme before changing courses. There are around 85 sampled elements in the mixtape, not including individual drum hits (but including full drum breaks). It’s a tribute to the music, TV, and Internet ephemera that has captured our hearts and minds as we composed it in our various bedrooms over the past year or so. Writing and recording it was good clean American fun, and we hope the experience of listening to it is similar. Thanks.  -Trung and Brad TV Girl

TV Girl and fellow San Diegans Dirty Gold decided that it would be fun to cover one of each other’s song and release it as a digital single, so that’s exactly what we did. We tried our hand at their song “Overboard” and they took on our “On Land”. Not to be hyperbolic here, but the result is positively breath-taking. You can download the single for free over at our facebook page: facebook.com/tvgirlz. Important note: If you are already a fan on facebook, go to the “welcome” page at the left of the screen. A little confusing I know.
