As it happened, the trio’s first chance to play together was an audition for the American touring version of Spiritualized (they didn’t get the job). But, the trio kept meeting and working, turning Ezra recording as a solo artist into Ezra, Shane and Michael playing as a band; thus, EZTV was formed.
With a pool of over 30 demos to work with and Jarvis Taveniere of Woods onboard to produce, the band headed to Thump Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to record their debut LP for Captured Tracks. The result is Calling Out, a cohesive 12-song statement in the long tradition of fully realized debuts, stripped of artifice, but full of hooks and songwriting chops. They’ve got one foot firmly planted in classic American power-pop and college rock while the other utilizes more left-of-the-dial sonic experimentation. The result is a sound that’s both familiar and new, but always about the songs.

Calling Out
EZTV Lyrics
CALLING OUT
A lot to prove
Nothing to do
You are the moon
Always shining
Pale reflections
All over me
When the day is done
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
Once you've gone away
Nobody's going
To kick the sense to you
Either have it
Or nothing that you do Is gonna make it better
When the day is done
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
Once you've gone away
Always leaving
Never changed
The same old feeling
Still remains
When the day is done
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
Calling out in vein
A lot to prove
Nothing to do
You are the moon
Always shining
Pale reflections
All over me
When the day is done
I'll get it together
Once you've gone away
Nobody's going
To kick the sense to you
Either have it
Or nothing that you do Is gonna make it better
When the day is done
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
Once you've gone away
Always leaving
Never changed
The same old feeling
Still remains
When the day is done
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
I hear you calling out in vein
I'll get it together
Calling out in vein
