Album Notes & Community Reviews

Re-emerging from a fourteen-year hiatus, former Television frontman Tom Verlaine simultaneously released an instrumental album and 'Songs and Other Things', a collection of proper vocal tracks. The highly idiosyncratic record is characterized by his distinctly nervous, shivering vocal delivery and the incredibly intricate, spider-web guitar tones that defined his legendary early career.
