Tv On The Radio
Dear Science
White vinyl. TV On The Radio's story is one of synchronicity, of serendipity, of epiphany. The band began with Tunde Adebimpe (vocals) and David Sitek (multi-instrumentalist and production kingpin) being roommates and making comics, movies and paintings. They started trading tapes of each other's four track recordings and thought it'd be fun to try to make "a real record" out of all that stuff. Their debut full-length 'Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes' set 2004 off to a dramatically positive start. With new member Kyp Malone sharing songwriting, guitar and vocal duties, the band was quickly on the path to the being one of the most talked-about new groups in America. After touring as a trio, Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) joined the band to create the official TV On The Radio line-up. The band's third studio album released in 2008, 'Dear Science', opened with vintage band line-up, but the nostalgia does not last. With 'Dear Science', the band continue to push the limit with sonic experiments that fill out the rest of the album.
