Like many of its contemporaries who’ve grown up in the digital age, where basically all music is available for the hearing, TV Ghost has collected such a wide range of influences that it’s hard to nail down where the group is coming from. Early influences were likely Joy Division, The Cramps, PJ Harvey, and The Fall, and some later influences seem to be Echo & The Bunnymen and Teardrop Explodes. But how TV Ghost has gotten from one musical perch to another is all a blur. Taken at face value, the group's third studio album, Disconnect, sounds as if a few different, legitimate bands took turns filling out the lineup. (It's produced by Chris Woodhouse, who's worked with Ty Segall.) The Echo/Joy Division/Teardrop sounds of “Stranger” (or is that simply Interpol?) is heard throughout the album, but it's at odds with the surf guitars and David Lynchian tension of “Veils.” A track like “Dread Park” works from the edge of mystery to a howling chorus. “A Maze of Death” mixes the incongruent guitar lines of Gang of Four and Yeah Yeah Yeahs into a spine-tingling climax.
