Dear Science

Vinyl LP pressing. Over two years since their astonishing 2006 album Return to Cookie Mountain, New York avant garde standard-bearers TV On The Radio returned with their album, Dear Science. Produced by the group s multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek, Dear Science found the Brooklyn group fine-tuning what they did best on Return To Cookie Mountain. The band's Brooklyn friends: the Afro-funk group Antibalas lent some golden horn rave-ups to "Red Dress" and Katrina Ford of Celebration delivered angelic harmonies on the orchestral closer "Lover's Day". But if beautifully damaged tracks such as "Dreams" and "Ambulance", from their debut album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes is what did it for you, don't worry - Dear Science still went for the jugular in the melancholic and moody department.
