Just a couple of weeks ago, this blog was happy to report that the first taste of new TV on the Radio music was available for free download. The smoothed out track "Will Do" was originally featured on BBC Radio, but do to mass availability of low quality radio rips, an album quality version was made available for stream on Soundcloud. In a refusal to slow down the hype train, the guys have decided to release another track for the cost of one well-marketed email address via the widget below. The new track "Caffeinated Consciousness" should be plenty to quell your desire until April 12, when the band's fourth full length Nine Types of Light becomes available on Interscope Records.
If anyone was disappointed by the mellow nature of "Will Do", "Caffeinated Consciousness" should make those hard-to-please fans more forgiving. The stuttering, blues-referencing rocker is a bounty of riffs and attitude served up on a simple platter. The blissful bridge is infused to give the song a loud-quiet-loud effect, but noise rules across this effort. The only drawback is that the moment is too brief, making its furious statement then moving on to the next narrative. As previously announced, TV on the Radio will be headlining Pitchfork festival on Sunday, July 17. For the impatient, they will be making an early tour stop in Chicago at the Metro April 22. Grab your tickets here before they are gone. Sadly, the band will be without their longtime bassist Gerard Smith as he recovers from lung cancer. According to Pitchfork, the prognosis is promising for a full recovery. Keep fighting, good man.
