Trung Ngo and Brad Petering are a duo doing some amazing and
relaxing things in the southern part of California. They go by the moniker TV Girl and hail from that same city I was raving about in my last post, the always-classy
San Diego. And as the summer begins to wind down into its less revealing and
quite sheltered autumn self, the tracks TV Girl has been spitting out remind me
how the summer sun has made me feel for months now. The uplifting and
encouraging indie pop sound of this Diego duo transmits visions of 1960’s beach
side barbecues on grassy knolls.
The tracks below showcase the new EP the band
released in late July, another stellar collection and showcase of the duo’s pop
sensibility. Both tracks (“Baby You Were There” and “Your Own Religion”)
examine the summer love that endures among a city as built for the sun as San
Diego. Although the lyrical ingenuity is lacking in most tracks, the relation
is meant to be the sound. The beats are the memory and the connection, and
perfectly labeled. The EP, titled Benny and the Jetts, envisions a time unlike
our own in a not so distant past. Grab the Benny and the Jetts EP, out since July 2010, for free at
their Bandcamp.
