TV on the Radio

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The Brooklyn-based group TV on the Radio mixes post-punk, electronic, and other atmoshperic elements in such a creative way that it only makes sense that its core duo, vocalist Tunde Adebimpe and multi-instrumentalist/producer David Andrew Sitek, are both visual artists as well as musicians.

Pop, rock, and art songs about discordant living, misrepresentation, life, afterlife, love, and love "after hours." Scandalous. Undeniably catchy songs with incredible production, arrangements, champion crooning, and a host of extras. Jane magazine says they sound "like Pere Ubu meets Belfegore meets The Tar Babies meets a way less chilly Notwist with a smidge of Metric thrown in." Which is to say, great.

Songs about patience, guidance, realizing you have a soul, and the hopeful horror of that soul being forced out of your body into something, anything new. Songs about lost loves reincarnated with everything but the memory of you, beautiful eulogies for a dead century. Not-so-funny songs for a not-so-funny world, but still danceable, hummable, swayable.
