Like I Saw Somebody Do On TV


TV Girl “7 Days Til Sunday”

TV Girl’s Brad Petering mainly writes songs about dating, with an emphasis on how stories from pop culture influence the way we think about real life romance. “7 Days Til Sunday” is a story of someone who is aiming for whimsical Hollywood romance, but eventually settles for lots of drinking, confused communication, awkward sex, and smoking cigarettes on a roof in New York City. Like, not the worst thing ever and certainly something plenty of people can relate to, but not exactly classic rom-com material. The music nods in the general direction of glossy, sexy vibes but Petering’s vocal undermines that a bit by sounding both melancholy and deadpan. That might not work in some cases, but here it really emphasizes the gulf between the singer’s expectations and his reality.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
