TV On The Radio have a brilliant brand new album, Nine Types Of Light, coming out next Tuesday. And to celebrate the occasion, they're bringing it all back home and playing a surprise release show at the comfy Music Hall Of Williamsburg that evening.The band already announced a show at Radio City Music Hall next Wednesday (tickets still available here), but wouldn't you rather be able to move around all herky jerky-like and dance those cobwebs out of your beard? The Music Hall show goes on sale tomorrow at noon here.
The new release, their fourth official album, is filled with songs about longing and love, subjects they've been hesitant to dive into head-on in the past. It was also the first album they've recorded in LA, far from their natural confines of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, where they could take breaks from recording with BBQ and ping pong.
Below you can see a trailer for the album-accompanying movie ("a visual re-imagining of the record, [which] includes a music video for every song on the album"), as well as the official video for first single "Will Do." And if you haven't heard it yet, check Nine Types Of Light out here—it really might be their tightest, breeziest album yet. Even if they've moved away from the rich sonic dankness of Return To Cookie Mountain, they more then make up for it with their most chiseled songwriting yet.
