Dear Science by TV on the Radio
Dear Science is an album by TV on the Radio, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Golden Age”, on 7 lists with a best position of #60.
Dear Science, the third studio album from Brooklyn's TV on the Radio, came out in September 2008, digitally through Touch and Go first and then a week later on Interscope and DGC in North America and 4AD everywhere else. Dave Sitek produced, and the band he's part of here, Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone on vocals, Jaleel Bunton on drums, Gerard Smith on bass and keys, sounds looser and funkier than the dense murk of Return to Cookie Mountain.
It's a record that wants you to move while it worries about the world: loops, guitars and all manner of clatter piled onto slinky grooves, with Adebimpe and Malone trading off at the mic. "Golden Age" is a sunburst, "Halfway Home" builds from a hum into a wall of sound. It sold past 203,000 copies in the US by 2012, and in 2009 it went gold across Europe.
