TV On The Radio
BIOGRAPHY
The first album from TV on the Radio (initially just founding members Adebimpe and Sitek) was the self-released OK Calculator (the title being a reference to Radiohead΄s album OK Computer), the majority of which is wildly different from their later sound, with elements of electronica, hip hop and turntablism. They were later joined by Kyp Malone, and released the Young Liars EP in 2003 to critical acclaim. This was followed by the full-length debut, Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes which earned the band the 2004 Shortlist Music Prize. They released a second EP, New Health Rock, later that year.
Their second album, Return to Cookie Mountain, leaked in early 2006 and garnered pre-release praise from such outlets as Pitchfork Media[1] before its official release in July overseas. U.S. and Canadian release was in September on Interscope. The album received critical acclaim after its release from many sources, including Spin Magazine which named Return to Cookie Mountain its Album of the Year for 2006.[2] The album features guest appearances from Celebration, Dragons of Zynth, Antibalas, Blonde Redhead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs΄ Nick Zinner, and David Bowie.
Founding member David Andrew Sitek has produced records for the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Celebration, Liars and Scarlett Johansson. After founding his own studio (named StayGold), Sitek co-produced the first LP for Dragons of Zynth, and worked with them on a collaboration with Massive Attack for their upcoming "Weather Underground" album. He has also recently mixed the debut album by The Longcut.
Tunde Adebimpe has also worked with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, producing and animating their Pin video.[3]
It was announced that their newest album, Dear Science, will be released September 23rd, 2008 on Interscope.
