I love hearing a really great debut single. I figure if someone can impress me from the jump, they’re bound to have a big future ahead of them. “Television”, the first single from Eora/Sydney artist Ant Enoch is one of those tracks that’s made me really sit up and take notice.
“This song was born out of a very intense writing experience. Seeing myself write 100 songs in 10 days. ‘Television’ began as a small idea, no. 54 of 100. Then Georgia [Potter, co-producer] and I expanded on the story itself,” Ant explained. “We wanted to paint a vivid picture of the underdog. A clear triumphant song that saw people choosing to carry on and choose love as the way through hardship. We started with a basic drum machine pattern and wrote the entire song with the piano, vocals and drum machine. Myka Wallace [drums] came and added that superhuman swagger, furthering the humanity of the song.”
“Television” comes from Ant’s debut EP Big Talk Big Party, which drops on May 17.
