Review – TV Sets
By: Remington Fioraso
Album: Gen Pop
Download Link: https://tvsets.bandcamp.com/album/gen-pop
Genre: Low-fi pop
Release Date: January 26, 2015
Hailing from Toronto, TV SETS is a lo-fi bedroom pop group. In August 2014, they released their debut release entitled “Rat Tar Art.” On January 26, 2015, the duo released their second album entitled “Gen Pop.”
Upon listening to the four tracks included on Gen Pop, the instrumentals drew me in. They were moreso in the forefront with vocals in the background as opposed to the opposite. The album has an intriguing sound to it. The tracks featured went well together yet still were distinctive from one another. The song standing out the most on Gen Pop for me was “Cartoons.”
If you enjoyed their previous release Rat Tar Art, I would definitely recommend picking up a copy of their sophomore release. If you have yet to listen to TV SETS, Gen Pop is a great introduction to the artist.
Rating: 3.5/5

Hi Everyone! My name is Remington Fioraso. I am a graduate of the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor of Arts program in Sociology, Anthropology, and Media and Communication Studies. Within my program, I focused on social media, learning about contemporary and classical sociological theory (Including Marx, Foucault, Bourdieu, and Durkheim), and communicating effectively in various modes and for different audiences (including oral communication, business communication, academic writing, entertainment media, and presentations utilizing visual media). Within my program, the question arose for many courses, “What is the relevance in the real world?” Stepping (temporarily) away from being in university, I gained an interest in Latin American development, social movements, and business. Sooner than later, I will be applying for post-grad programs to dive further into LA development and social movements to gain a theory-background in addition to a personal perspective onto the topics. In my free time, I love to travel, consume media, eat, listen to music, and write. Listening to music and writing led to my interest in working with Canadian Beats! I have been a part of the team since April 2014. A few of my personal highlights of interviews include ones with some of my favourite artists – Sumo Cyco, Madeline Merlo, and High Valley.
