Brighton’s self-described “door to door heartbreak salesmen” Nature TV have released their highly anticipated debut album Unlucky For Some, out today via Heist or Hit.
Known for nurturing left-field talent like Her’s and Westside Cowboy, the label provides a fitting home for Nature TV’s hazy, heart-led blend of neo-soul and indie-pop. The 13-track album is a warm, wistful journey through jangling guitar tones, silky grooves, and aching melodies that feel equally suited to sunset drives or solitary mornings.
From the opening chords of ‘One Step Forward’ through to the closing notes of ‘Subtle Treasures’, the album glows with a soft confidence. Tracks like ‘Helpless & Hoping’ wrap melancholic lyrics around shimmering production, while ‘Simple Dog’ and ‘Staying for the Weekend’ explore life’s quieter, more contemplative moments with a touch of breezy cool. Produced by longtime collaborator Solo Major, the record finds a sweet spot between live-band warmth and studio sheen, with layered instrumentation and emotive vocals at the core of every song.
Nature TV—comprised of Guy Bangham (guitar, vocals), Josh Eriskin (bass), and James Hunt (lead guitar, backing vocals), with studio drums from Zal Jones—have drawn comparisons to the likes of Whitney, The Internet, and Real Estate. Already renowned for their live performances, Nature TV are set to bring Unlucky For Some to fans around the world with an international run of dates. Following an appearance at The Alt Escape Brighton, their US headline tour begins in New York City at Berlin on September 5th.
With Unlucky For Some, Nature TV deliver a debut that’s both intimate and musically rich, weaving personal stories with lush, sun-soaked production. It’s an album made for long walks, quiet nights, and anyone who finds comfort in beautifully crafted, emotionally rich pop. For a band already known for their sincerity and melodic instincts, this is a debut that cements their promise—and sets the stage for an exciting chapter to come.
