French-American post-punk outfit DTCV was formed in Los Angeles in
2012 by Guylaine Vivarat (ex-Useless Keys, Tennis System), James
Greer (ex-Guided By Voices), and Chris Dunn, a recent transplant from
Chicago (the city, where he grew up and played in about a million
bands). A music writer wrote recently (paraphrasing here) that the
band sounds like Debbie Harry fronting post-Nico Velvet Underground,
and while that’s wildly inaccurate, it’s less wildly inaccurate than a lot
of things that people
have written.
DTCV has thus far released two EPs, Very Fallen World and Basket of
Masks. A full length album, However Strange, was released in late
August 2012 on cassette by Burger Records to coincide with a national
tour opening for Guided By Voices in September. All three of these
earlier releases will be reissued in January 2014
Includes unlimited streaming of The Early Year
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
