Pet TV "Terrarium"

Terrarium marks the debut album from Pet TV, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Cody Bass. Rooted in the DIY ethos of his Mississippi upbringing, Cody channels a blend of Britpop sensibilities and ’90s slacker rock energy into a collection of fuzzed-out, no-frills songs. Each track balances catchy melodic hooks with a raw, lo-fi aesthetic, giving the record an immediacy that feels both intimate and expansive.

Drawing inspiration from acts like Guided By Voices, Pixies, and Beck, Pet TV crafts a sound that nods to its influences while maintaining a distinct voice. From energetic riffs to contemplative melodies, Terrarium navigates the tension between nostalgia and innovation, revealing Cody’s talent as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist capable of shaping a cohesive, compelling album on his own.

Born from a pandemic-era home recording project, Terrarium captures the spirit of solitary creativity and personal exploration. The album’s mix of fuzzy guitars, inventive arrangements, and heartfelt performance delivers a listening experience that is simultaneously familiar and refreshingly original—an essential introduction to a promising new voice in indie rock.
