How the Music Critic Score works
My Dark Places is an apt title for Television Personalities' first album in eight years. In that time, TVP main man Dan Treacy basically dropped out of sight due to drug addiction and a criminal lifestyle, both of which landed him in jail. Upon his release in 2004, Treacy set about getting a band together and recording. Working with old friend/bandmate Ed Ball, the album they made is both a harrowing portrait of life lived on the fringes of society and a wide-eyed and innocent pop album reminiscent of old TVP material.
