TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain

Art rock? I dunno, mate. But I love the fuzzy guitars, the whacky rhythms, Tunde Adebimpe's off-kilter vocals and the intelligence of all this. It's a bright, outstanding button in a New York box full of dull sameness. Refreshingly atmospheric, these are tracks to wallow in, to deconstruct (loops and samples aplenty), to chew on, lovingly. It's a nice place to go and well worth the journey, although you might not want to come out the other side.
