"Dear Science" by TV on the Radio

In 2006 I posted an entry about the fantastic album from TV on the Radio called "Return to Cookie Mountain", and now two years later they have released their follow-up entitled 'Dear Science', and yet again it deserves its own Ghostlife approved blog entry. If you liked their dense unique mix of jazz, rock, shoegaze, punk and doo-wop, but was hoping for something with a little more kick, something that might put a little shake in your hips, well this might do it. They've taken their sound and made it just a tad more radio friendly without losing that unique blend or their sense of experimentation. I highly recommend anyone pick this up or download it, its excellent. Don't just take my word for it ...
