DTCV Going for Adds
French-American post-punk band DTCV (pronounced Detective) was formed in Los Angeles in 2012 by Vivarock and Fiat Lux. These are pseudonyms; both band members are currently being hounded by Interpol (the pop group, not the crime-fighting organization) and prefer not to reveal their profligate involvement with other, better-known rock combos, or with writing films, novels, and Broadway musicals, or with acquiring post-graduate degrees in international politics from the Sorbonne. The group has been compared by possibly not-entirely-sober music writers to Stereolab, Sonic Youth, Mission of Burma, and “post-Nico Velvet Underground with Debbie Harry on vocals.” The first single, “Miley Cyrus Wins the Race”, is an impeccable mix of post-shoegaze, powerpop.

![At radio now from @independent_project_records: Torn Boys’ 1983, featuring recordings made circa that year by Grant-Lee Phillips, Jeffrey Clark [Shiva Burlesque], Duncan Atkinson, & Kelly Foley (Gary Young’s Hospital).
@bandcamp: Essential Release. Imagine a cross-wiring of Bauhaus and the Soft Boys and you’re close to approximating the group’s distinctly spooky take on ‘80s psychedelia.
@spillmagazine: “The music is great... full of melody and promise... Their ability to combine 1980s synth sound with pop and guitar rock is astounding.”](https://amanaplanacanal.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
