Following the release of debut album ‘Uppers’ earlier this year, TV Priest are back with new track ‘Lifesize’, their contribution to the Sub Pop Singles Club, Vol. 6.

“‘Lifesize’ is about the worship of the ‘strong man’ image often present in our political and cultural discourse,” the band’s Charlie Drinkwater says. “One where the patriarchal underpinnings of our society and political structure goes unchallenged. After a particularly grueling year, when people have looked to leaders for strength, we’ve found instead empty gestures and contempt. (‘Talk like a salesman, walks like the Pope.’) We don’t need more macho bravado; society needs empathy and compassion.”
