Dear Science

TV on the Radio

A maximalist collision of funk, post-punk, and soul. Polished yet vibrating with urban anxiety, it captures the sound of a city at its most electric.

Find on Amazon

It's like a soulful, funky transmission from a very smart, very anxious future.

A high-energy collision of urban anxiety and defiant, soulful optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from a steady build to the soaring, shoegaze-inflected wall of sound in Halfway Home.
The rapid-fire, almost-rapped delivery of the verses in Dancing Choose that suddenly gives way to a melodic, anthemic chorus.
The menacing, distorted bass synth and Tunde Adebimpe's hushed, threatening vocal delivery on DLZ.
