Brooklyn's TV On The Radio are starting to spice up their Web site tvontheradio.com with new promos for their third full-length Dear Science, due September 23rd. The first? Streaming the album's first single, titled "Golden Age." Not to be confused with the Beck song title of the same name, the TVOTR track is reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" but eventually morphs i...

New video from one of the best rock bands around right now. Check it out. Not sure whats up with the white monk robes or the police officers on the top of a rainbow mountain but they are the audio visual artists and I'm the mapmaker/urban planner/blogger so I'll leave it up to the professionals and not ask questions.
10. TV On the Radio Dear, Science People were probably thinking that TV On the Radio would have shifted towards the mainstream with their major label debut Return to Cookie Mountain but nothing could have been further from the truth. Instead the band crafted an album that was as weirdly catchy as anything they had done before. Amazingly it was their second major label record, Dear, Science...
Twas two days before Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was stirring Except for one certain person who forgot to get Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa Presents for the whole family! What's a music lover to do? We've all been there before - days, hours, minutes before an occasion - empty-handed and in need of a gift. Well, lucky for [...]
TV On The Radio's "Dear Science" is the number one album pick of 2008 according to the "quality" British music press. The Brooklyn 5 piece scored highest in the top 50 critical countdown's of the popular magazines NME, Q, Mojo, Uncut, and respected online sites Guardian, MusicOMH, and Drowned In Sound. Combining their votes (50 points for number 1 album, 49 for 2nd etc) and then formulating a c...
Last seen on Letterman's fire escape and in Anne Hathaway movies , TV On The Radio resurfaced overseas at BBC2's Later... with Jools Holland to perform Dear Science 's "Golden Age " and "Dancing Choose ." They're not the most exciting renditions of the tracks, and the latter's mixed badly (where are the horns?). That said, the camera person offers plenty of closeups (see above screen grab), wh...
Despite breaking down in Salt Lake City on their way to Red Rocks, and eventually arriving barely 10 minutes before their set time in a couple of rented Expeditions, TV On The Radio played the most inspired set of the entire Monolith Festival. Photos and recap coming later, but for now, here's the brand new video for "Golden Age," the Kyp-fronted first single from Dear Science. (via Spinner)***...
--- - |- I've just about recovered from my rather busy weekend, which saw me take in sets at Odder with Shoplifters and the Bay Horse BBQ with YerMam! and the Stop Making Sense boys. Of course, while I've been away, the intertubes have gone a bit crazy for the new TV on the Radio track. I've also been hearing a new Kings of Leon track on the radio for the last week and it's in my brain. And...
An amazing thing happened the other day, I actually laughed at something Pitchfork wrote. This one also has dancing cops and TVOTR members' heads morphing into woodland critters', but I think we'll know a real "Golden Age" when science give us a version of this video with better audio quality. It's a very subtle dig on [...]
When posting about TV On The Radio's "Dancing Choose," I mentioned that the funky, optimistic, and mystic "Golden Age" struck me as a little P.M. Dawn-esque in the chorus. Well, in the video for the Dear Science clip, the guys go down a particularly P.M. path, mixing white monk robes and hand claps with Care Bear Stare action, synchronized police men (and woman), animal heads, golden instrument...
