First up TV On The Radio.
The people that made the best record of the whole of last year with their
sublime, sumptuous 'Young Liars' EP. Well they now have their debut LP available
via the nice people at 4AD. Its called 'Desperate Youth Blood Thirsty
Babes' which goes straight in at No 1 of the awful titles list but the music
contained within is quite brilliant. How do I describe them? The vocalist sounds
exactly EXACTLY like Peter Gabriel, there's Pixies like guitar
and AR Kane noises fluttering about. It's art rock, it draws on
gospel, soul, indie, barbershop and hip hop. They look brilliant.
This album maybe, maybe doesn't quite live up to the stunning 'Young Liars' but
is still the most original thing I've heard for awhile. If you only buy one
record ever buy 'Young Liars' but if you buy your fair share you must add this
one to the pile. CD and Dbl Vinyl.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
