I like TV. I like radio. So what could be better than a little TV On The Radio? How about a couple tracks from the new TVOTR album entitled Return To Cookie Mountain that is scheduled for release this June on Interscope?
For those unfamiliar with the band, their fantastic 2004 album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (released on Touch & Go) garnered much critical acclaim and won the 2004 Shortlist Prize. I know Jacob really likes it too. Their unique musical stylings blend elements of blues, jazz, post-punk, gospel, hip-hop, and noisy indie rock with soulful vocals and powerfully biting lyrics. Kinda like Marvin Gaye meets Fugazi (bad, I know). After hearing what I have thus far, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.

if you still need it.
“C” is for “Cookie” . . .
i’m ridiculously excited for this release – listening to satellite on repeat is starting to wear out the patience of my roommate just a tad.
i’m digging your site. shine on, you crazy diamond!
“Playhouses” is fantastic. I’m ridiculously disheartened that they’re not playing anywhere near me …right now. Damn it.
I like this album better than the one before. Much bigger and brighter sound.
It’s a bit MBV-esque. Incidentally “Luminous Orange” a japanese band also has this grea sound. (great to me at least)
Will really have to buy this, does have a Kevin Shields guitariness to it, check out a band called ‘Klaxons’ from here in the UK V Good indeed.
I liked their first album, but I felt something was missing. It sounds like they have it all together on this one. A potential classic. One of the most original new bands.
