Return to Cookie Mountain Tracks
Description
Their second album and first for Interscope is almost wholly
brilliant. Like Mogwai, Sigur Ros and a dozen others, TVOTR excels at making
slowly-evolving tunes with vaguely anthemic choruses and lots of loud-soft
dynamics. Unlike virtually any of those other bands, TV on the Radio mix a
genuine and actual songwriting ability with their knack for finding sounds
that appear to be “new.” This record is crisper-sounding and incorporates more
dance-based elements, but it’s essentially a pop album. While the lack of the
free web-released “Dry Drunk Emperor, a tribute to President Bush, is
initially a bummer, the album percolates with enough pre-apocalyptic tension
to satisfy anyone. In a Prince-pitched falsetto, the group sings “I was a
lover/ Before this war,” While throughout, the combination of melody and
invention is always pitch-perfect (well, except on “Province” and “Let the
Devil In,” those songs sort of suck.) People of Earth: please make this band
into total superstars and buy several copies of their album: one for the car,
another for the office, etc. What we really need in our popular music is more
weirdness, and more truth. –Mike McGonigal
