The launch of 86TVs has seen former Maccabees duo Hugo and Felix White embrace a new beginning an usagainsttheworld attitude of proving their powers as a new band that reflects their early days before The Maccabees reached their towering peak. Completed by third White brother Will and drummer Jamie Morrison Stereophonics, 86TVs today unveil their eagerly anticipated debut EP You Dont Have To Be Yourself Right Now.The EP features the recent tracks Higher Love and Worn Out Buildings as well as their new release Spinning World. Premiered earlier this week by Steve Lamacq at 6Music, Spinning World presents a subtle stylistic shift from the bands first two singles. Originating from Wills more introverted songwriting approach, its initially restrained introduction suddenly crashes into life, the bands musical intuition firing up a skyscraping chorus with vapour trails of guitar and their patented, closeknit vocal harmonies. Its also infused with a dynamic power, as it drifts down into ethereal atmospherics before once again erupting in a rousing, psychtinged crescendo.Will says, I love doing that chorus live with everyone in unison. Something about it just feels right to me, hearing all ourvoicestogether.The EP is completed with a brand new track in the shape of Dreaming. A beautifully direct song exulting the power of love and the devastation of loss, its 86TVs first epic a slowburner which achieves maximal impact by taking the time to unveil its full, affecting majesty.86TVs produced the EP alongside Stephen Street The Maccabees Colour It In, Blur, Suede during sessions at the bands own Olympic Studios and at the producers studio The Bunker at 13.Formed in the wake of The Maccabees split, 86TVs went public in 2022 with a tour as special guests to Jamie T.

Released towards the end of 2023, Worn Out Buildings was nominated for Radio Xs Record of the Year before Higher Love hit the Alist at 6Music, and was playlisted and named Track of the Week at Absolute Radio.Given their background, its no surprise that 86TVs immediately made an impact in the live area too as evidenced by their Reading Festival set, their Empire Studios sessions, and their live TV debut on Sunday Brunch.
