Inspired by hazy, jangly power pop acts such as Cleaners from Venus, Emitt Rhodes, and Shoes, Brooklyn's EZTV began as the project of vocalist/guitarist/audio engineer Ezra Tenenbaum. To flesh out demos he'd crafted on his eight-track recorder, Tenenbaum recruited bassist Shane O'Connell and former Widowspeak drummer Michael Stasiak. The trio recorded its debut album with Woods' Jarvis Taveniere as producer, with the April 2015 release of the 7" Dust in the Sky heralding the arrival of Calling Out that July. For 2016's more polished High in Place, EZTV opted to record and produce the album themselves, and invited guests including Jenny Lewis, Chris Cohen, Quilt's John Andrews, and Real Estate's Martin Courtney and Matt Kallman. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
