Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on the Radio
Return to Cookie Mountain is an album by TV on the Radio, released in 2006. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 37 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Wolf Like Me”, on 36 lists with a best position of #2.
Return to Cookie Mountain, TV on the Radio's second album, came out on 4AD in July 2006, with Interscope and Touch and Go bringing it to North America that September, bonus tracks attached. Dave Sitek produced, and the Brooklyn band, with Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone out front, Sitek and drummer Jaleel Bunton in the engine room and keyboardist Gerard Smith on his first album with them, builds dense, churning storms out of loops, guitars and voices.
Friends dropped by: David Bowie, an early champion of their debut Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, sings backup on "Province", Katrina Ford of Celebration appears on "Wolf Like Me" and two others, and Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino sings on "Hours". "Wolf Like Me", a galloping monster, became the song rock radio held onto. Reviews were rapturous across the board, and plenty of critics ranked it among the finest records of 2006, and of the whole decade too.
