Brooklyn-based sextet TVOD are gearing up to release their second album, The Farm, on October 16th, 2026, via Mothland. Recorded in Leeds less than a year after their 2025 debut, Party Time, the album is full of playful post-punk and huge hooks. We spoke to their frontman Tyler about everything from their first-ever single to their upcoming UK and EU tour. 

Firstly, let’s go all the way back to your debut single, Wallmart. How much of your approach from that era is still part of what you do now, and is there anything from that time that you’ve completely ditched? 

A lot has changed in terms of where and when I’m recording my ideas. I used to just record on my Tascam 424 four-track, but it broke and I had to sell it for some pocket money so I usually do all of my writing on the computer now sadly. I really want to start recording demos on analog again.

Seven years later, your second album, The Farm, is ready to drop on October 16th, 2026. You were back in the studio to record it less than a year after 2025’s Party Time. Why did you return to recording so quickly? 

2025 was a very inspiring year for me personally and I was writing like crazy. We met Adult DVD on our Euro tour last year and got to become good buddies. We were having a pint with them at one of the various pubs dotting the Brighton Psych Fest when Danny told me that he’s been recording bands at Nave Studio in Leeds. I told him we had a bunch of new music in the works and that we had some free time in January. It all just seemed to fall into place organically.

How have things changed for the band in the period between these two full-lengths? 

I think that we have really grown as a band and a family together. Playing those big stages last year felt terrifying, but now I think we feel very comfortable and have a lot of fun on them. It was our first time touring that intensely for that long and after spending that much time being asses to ankles with one another, we couldn’t help but become tighter. The road changes you!

It feels like your sound has progressed and expanded in the short time since Party Time. How much of that was conscious and intentional, and how much just happened naturally? 

I just try to write what comes naturally to me and try not to overthink it. I think I’ve matured a lot as an artist and as a person. A lot of the first songs I was making were done when I was partying and experimenting with different mind-altering substances, whereas now I think I’m a lot more introspective. The Farm is very much a reflection of the raw emotional baggage that I carry with me.

You’re from Brooklyn but recorded The Farm in Leeds. What happens when those two worlds collide?

A lot of pints of Guinness. The local pub The Halfway House that was down the block from the studio became our second home. We had the time of our lives recording there. Leeds very much inspired the recordings. We made a bunch of new friends and played a really wild last-minute show at Orporto. My only regret is not trying a parmo. I'm itching to go back.

On that note, what did Adult DVD’s Danny Blackburn bring to the album? 

Could not have made this album without him. Besides the absurd amount of profanity and his incessant flatulence, he is truly a gem to be around. He really understood what we were going for and the vibe we were trying to create. It kind of feels like he is now the secret 7th member of TVOD. I think of him when I look across the Atlantic and wonder if he is on the other side of it looking back at me. I reminisce fondly of his funny Teesside accent and how he never likes to stray too far away from the Brian Butterfield diet. A true legend. Kinda owes me twenty quid though. 

Your music manages to bring together that gritty, angular post-punk sound but keep it catchy and even danceable at times. How do you find that middle ground between abrasive and accessible? 

Thank you! I’m not trying to be anything other than myself and I strive to make music that I enjoy listening to. I think it is benign intuition that makes me find the middle ground you're talking about.

If people could only hear one track from The Farm, what would it be? 

The last song on the album ‘Counting Sheep (Bed)’. I think it is a departure from who people think we are and what our live show sounds like. I love moshing and playing danceable music, don't get me wrong, but nothing is better than a song that comes straight and unabashedly from the heart. I found that song in the pit of my soul and it means a lot to me. Fuck it, corny is cool!

What can we expect from your upcoming UK and EU shows? 

You can expect to hear a lot of new songs off of the album! We have no idea when we will be back over there so we are planning on living it up. Expect to see me shirtless, covered in mud, oink, oink, oinking in the pit. Lighting a cigarette, hairy nipples out, eyes rolling in the back of my skull asking people, "hey do you know where I put my marbles? I can't seem to find them."

Finally, we want to know what you’re listening to. Can you point us in the direction of some artists that we might not have heard yet?

Absolutely! I’ve been listening to a lot of Balaclava and First Sex, who are also from Brooklyn. The new La Sécurité and Gus Englehorn albums are absolutely amazing; go listen to them. Oh and also this band Twisted Teens. I think they are kind of blowing up at the moment and it is well deserved. There is a lot of really exciting music coming out right now and I’m stoked to be around for it.
