About this album

Interscope (2008) Released: 16 Sep 2008 16 tracks (73:28)
With lyrics and vocals that are just as ambitious and attention-getting as the music surrounding them, TV on the Radio have always had a lot going on in their music. Indeed, Return to Cookie Mountain was so elaborate that topping it would be difficult, so on Dear Science, (yes, the comma is intentional) the band channels its focus into lean, nimble songs with more structure and polish — and more focus on Tunde Adepimbe’s and Kyp Malone’s vocals — than any of TV on the Radio’s previous work. This immediacy and crystalline clarity take some getting used to, especially compared to Cookie Mountain’s lavish yet organic sound: “Family Tree“‘s strings, pianos, and plainly worded vulnerability make it one of the band’s most accessible songs, but it doesn’t feel like anything was sacrificed to make it so anthemic. That feeling only deepens on the self-evidently sexy “Red Dress,” which uses Antibalas’ vibrant brass and taut guitars to show-stopping effect.

As Dear Science, unfolds, it becomes clear that it isn’t so much a radical change for TV on the Radio as it is a slight but significant shift in approach. “Stork and Owl,” an inspired mix of hypnotically looping samples and flowing, real-time soulfulness, and “Love Dog,” which boasts some of Adepimbe’s most affecting singing since “Staring at the Sun,” could have fit easily on earlier albums with a few sonic tweaks.

    Kings. But also listen to Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsy Babes. That's the best album.

"Crying (Telepathe Remix)" 17. "Dogs Of Light" all of them together at: http://www.[spam] this IS missing Track #12: "Non-Musical Silence", which is pretty unnecessary.

    Dear Science doesn't sound as TV on the Radio used to .The first song does, but from there on they they go on a much more popish strain. Most of the songs are that alternative funk and r n' b that plays in chillout clubs(yes, it amazed me to).The other 3 or 4 songs are quiet, soft songs , like those that TV on the Radio had in the other records when they where calmer and more simple.

    itunes says there's another bonus song called "dogs of light." anyone have it or know where to hear it? Can't tell much from the preview, except there's some female vocalist in it.
