TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain

Evoking Fear of Music (Talking Heads), Station to Station (David Bowie), and Sign 'O" the Times (Prince), the resulting disc might be the most oddly beautiful, psychedelic, and ambitious of the year… Consider your mind blown. — (4.5/5 stars) Rolling Stone, 2006 This was the album that established once and for all that TV on the Radio were more than just a great idea for a band; they were a great band, period - Stereogum, 2016 TV On The Radio's story is one of synchronicity, of serendipity, of epiphany. TVOTR began with Tunde Adebimpe (vocals) and David Sitek (multi-instrumentalist and production kingpin) being roommates, drinking way too much coffee, making art: comics, movies, paintings. They started trading tapes of each other's four track recordings and thought it'd be fun to try to make "a real record" out of all that stuff.
