TV On The Radio, a story about modern genuine good music

There are few modern bands rated as high as TV On The Radio on the WSG list.

All their 5 albums are unique, innovative and – above everything – true quality works.

My favorite will always remain Return To Cookie Mountain with songs like Province, Wolf Like Me or Dirtywhirl. It just sounds like a  perfect orchestra across all types of sexy funk-pop-electronic vibes, a 10/10 album.

Coming back to their latest release, Nine Types Of Light is the band's 5^th album and is basically collecting the love from both Return To Cookie Mountain and Dear Science. I think that with the database of crazy-blinded-fanatic fans they’ve generated (yes, it definitely includes WSG, most likely on the first row) it’s impossible that anything they do doesn’t become epic. They’ve raised the bar up to that point where you ask yourself “am I really listening to this?”. Yes, they’re that good.

I’ve decided to share one of their classics (and on my ‘TV On The Radio Top-5’), from Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes – their second album from 2004 – Staring At The Sun. Enjoy young and cool people.

loose lips kiss you clean
