“Plastic Fantastic” is the first single from
the debut self-titled album by TKTTSM.
+++
Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock duo TKTTSM is set to release its debut
self-titled album on October 16th.
Comprised of Johanna
Stahley and Owen O’Mahony, TKTTSM balances the weight of O’Mahony’s instrumentation with Stahley’s skewed pop vocals for a
perfect representation of this band’s love of exploration, animals, exercise,
and freedom, and their dislike of cops, politicians, financial institutions and
any other power hungry villains.
Musically, Stahley
and O’Mahony share a love of pop,
noise, experimentation, and improvisation. Lyrics are co-written with a stream
of consciousness approach, and the music is born in a similar fashion. Their
debut album is a mural of the times we live in, and the things we fight for and
against: love, death, materialism and truth.
“I’m a little scared of it!” Stahley
says of the record.
O’Mahony’s confident approach to the direction of TKTTSM’s sound comes from a long
history as an accomplished touring musician who has played with Jesse Malin, Brendan James and Esmée
Denters among many others.
Outside of TKTTSM,
Stahley maintains a more
conventional songwriting career. Her song “Nothing
I Would Change” is currently featured in a national commercial for Lowe’s,
and another tune, “I Can” was the
theme song for four seasons of “Ruby”
on the Style Network.
For now, though, TKTTSM
is focusing on getting the word out about its debut album – an appropriate
soundtrack for these trying times. The
album’s first single “Plastic Fantastic”
is streaming now.
TKTTSM is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic to talk to the band or for more
information.
