About Me

"Ominous and ambient, TLVS (delivers) a fascinating sonic introduction sewing together dub and ambient textures." - RVA magazine;"one of the best live shows that Richmond will see all year" - "the beautiful confusion", WRIR"Building atop cinematic melodies with loops, drones and interlaced percussion, these Northern neighbors showcase a sonic bravura that links them to Do Make Say Think, Boom Bip and Tortoise. Think big." - Independent Weekly
