At the core of ‘TV Or Not TV’, the squiggly, genre-mashing debut album from the LA-based four-piece Liily, is a relentless desire to break the rules. It’s the sound of a young, hungry band reconciling their rock roots – 2019’s ‘I Can Fool Anybody With This Town’ EP carved out their jagged sound – with new musical interests, including electronica (‘The Yig’) and sparks of jazz (‘Monkey’). “For any band that pushes the threshold, it’s either gonna do nothing or it’s gonna make major waves,” frontman Dylan Nash recently told NME.<br><br>Liily seem to be having buckets of fun while experimenting, by keeping things precisely rendered but playful. They sound best when they get lost in their own clamour, and they’re delightfully unhinged on the aforementioned ‘Monkey’, a clattering, cymbal-heavy cut propelled by rumbling planes of guitar. A squawking trumpet section, one of the most thrilling surprises on the album, leaps in at the last minute to join in on the action – sounding like a swirl of limbs in a classic Tom and Jerry fight. It’s simultaneously joyful and unsettling.<br>
