Tunde Adebimpe wrote "Halfway Home" by himself, words and music, for Dear Science, the third TV on the Radio album, recorded in 2008 at the Stay Gold studio in Brooklyn. Dave Sitek produced it and mixed it with Matty Green, Dan Huron engineered with Chris Coady and Chris Moore helping out, and Martin Perna shows up on flute, which tells you how loosely this band defined a rock song.
The album wears a lot of tags, from indie rock and art rock to funk, soul and post-punk. Its title came from a note Sitek left in the studio, telling science to start curing diseases or keep its mouth shut. Touch and Go put the album out digitally that September, a week ahead of the physical release, and reviewers met it with near-unanimous praise.
