12" EP, Reissue
Touch And Go (2022) US
TV On The Radio's debut ep, Young Liars, is difficult to place, musically or geographically speaking. The angular, arty feel that informs the bands that Sitek has worked with is evident in TV On The Radio's music too, but in a cool, implosive way; combined with the keyboards and electronics that make up the backbone of their songs and Tunde Adebimpe's richly melancholy vocals, they don't sound like any other band out there. elements of electronica, post-rock, film music, even spirituals and traditional African vocal music combine and recombine throughout young liars' five songs so organically that it's clear that TV On The Radio isn't striving to be "eclectic" or "atmospheric": the band is simply using their naturally diverse elements and influences to create something wholly distinctive.
