Combining indie rock, dance, soul and everything in between, TV on the Radio is a band that I can always expect to go beyond the music and explore the artistic side of sound. Their latest album, Nine Types of Light, delivers a wave of rhythms and vocal shifts. At first listen, strong beats and up-tempo tracks like "Caffeinated Consciousness" and "New Cannonball Blues" appear to dominate the album with their bold nature. But with every further listen, the true driving force is a stream of (on the surface) gentler, more subdued songs. This is evident in "Forgotten" and "Will Do," where there is almost an uneasy romanticism that takes form through the creeping beats. As true art always is, there are many layers to Nine Types of Light that keep unraveling the more its explored.
Notable Tracks:
5. "Killer Crane"
6. "Will Do"
8. "Repetition"
9. "Forgotten"
10. "Caffeinated Consciousness"
For even more artistic expansion, TV on the Radio released a full-length music video, filled with individual visual representations for each one of its songs and then tied together with a collection of ideas provoked from topics found within the record.
