Return To Cookie Mountain by TV On The Radio

5...according to our on Sat 18 Nov, 2006.

I'd say the only gig that's ever had both me and our man Clint both "rocking" at the exact same time, all the way through was TV on the Radio a couple of years ago. They sent shivers up my spine throughout, precisely because they looked & felt so natural but offered a sublime & original take on thought provoking electrified  pop. On 'Return to Cookie Mountain', the Peter Gabriel-isms remain. The songs are unfurling many-layered epics that build so gracefully & open up gradually (like a butterfly of sound - hahaha) as there's so much to take in first listen. Denser than it's predecessor, the magical songwriting hasn't been diluted at all. It's the slow to mid tempo pace of the best songs that allows these atmosphere laden gems to breathe life into your jaded musical heart. I can't be arsed namechecking bands as there's not many that come anyplace close but in a sphere of their own creation, TV on the Radio are No. 1 in my heart! Album of the week without a quibble.
