NotesProduced by the group's multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek, DEAR SCIENCE finds Brooklyn group TV on the Radio fine-tuning what they did best on 2006's RETURN TO COOKIE MOUNTAIN: tweaking and looping and distorting a grand arsenal of aggressive percussion, new wave synthesizers, epic guitar noise and various kitchen- sink devices, then layering them all into a big, beautiful art-rock symphony.
Return to Cookie Mountain was my first exposure to TV on the Radio and it was a truly excellent experience. That being said, their follow-up "Dear Science" is even better. Same hip-hoppy roots but with some real surprises that will catch you off guard. To me, the "Family Tree" track is a classic and one of the finer true love songs ever penned and put to music. If Return to Cookie Mountain moved you, you will not be disappointed in "Dear Science"!
This CD really grows on you — the more you listen the better it gets. Have loved TVOTR for years and glad to finally own their music. Highly recommended!
