The Thing’s ‘Dave’s TV’ sparks a krautrock love triangle
New York rock provocateurs The Thing drop their latest single ‘Dave’s TV,’ paired with a cheeky video filmed outside a real-life TV store.
The second of two singles released this month, ‘Dave’s TV’ follows ‘Above Snakes’ as the opening salvo from The Thing’s forthcoming self-titled third LP. Built on a krautrock-inspired beat, the track dives into the ache of unrequited love—specifically, loving someone fixated on another. The band channels decades they never lived through, blending their DIY rock ethos with a sound that’s both timeless and defiant. Recorded live to tape without computers, ‘Dave’s TV’ hums with raw energy, its guitars and vocals weaving a tale of longing against a hypnotic rhythm. The accompanying video, shot outside Dave’s TV store in Millerton, NY, leans into campy fun, amplifying the song’s offbeat charm.
The Thing shared that this song:
“Is about being in love with someone who is in love with someone else. She’s watching Dave’s TV.”
‘Dave’s TV’ is out now on your favorite DSP.
