   EIGHT THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE TEN SONGS ON THE NEW TV ON THE RADIO    ALBUM, NINE TYPES OF LIGHT (TWELVE SONGS IF YOU BUY THE DELUXE EDITION)
   1.    This TV On The Radio album, Nine Types of Light (Interscope), is a lush and    beautiful album that stands apart from the group's previous work. If their    other albums had shades of dystopia and distress, this album, sung by Tunde    Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, is filled with songs about longing and love. "I like    love songs. There's nothing particularly interesting going on with me in my    life to bear this work. I like the forms of love songs, the poetry." Kyp adds    that though there might be more "positivity" on this album, it wasn't an    overall conceit they set out to do. "We've attempted to work on themes before    but they fall apart very quickly. More organic versions arise because we're    sharing time or space or communication."
   Though Nine Types of Light will sound like an album full of love songs, often    the true meaning of the songs lie deeper. On "You," Tunde sings a haunted    refrain; you're the only one I have ever loved. The sincerity of his voice    sells the idea of absolute adoration. But Tunde explains, "It's a song about    the feeling you get sometimes when you're expressing how much you care about    someone but resorting to these beautiful sounding lies. You're the only one I    ever loved? It's a terrible thing to say to someone because it's most likely    not true."
   2.    Nine Types of Light is the fourth album from TV on the Radio. You will want    to refer to it as the "fourth proper studio album" from TV On The Radio;    those albums were preceded by an EP, Young Liars, and an 18-track handmade CD    called OK Calculator, that is considered more like a demo tape (because it    was "released" by being hidden in random sofa cushions of New York coffee    shops). Enhancing nearly every aspect of their Shortlist Prize-winning    Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, 2006's Return to Cookie Mountain was    released to crazy universal acclaim. Rolling Stone said "It might be the most    oddly beautiful, psychedelic and ambitious album of the year," with The New    York Times agreeing: "It's more experimental yet catchier, more introspective    yet more assertive, by turns gloomier and funnier, and above all richer in    both sound and implication. `Return to Cookie Mountain' is simply one of this    year's best albums."
   Nine Types of Light is the follow-up to the band's gorgeous, glorious 2008    release, Dear Science, and proved to be its breakout release. It was named    album of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly and    MTV; and touring behind the album, the group sold out a year's worth of live    shows across the world. This, however, did not prevent everyone from    referring to TV On The Radio as a Brooklyn band. That is not a bad thing. The    group - Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, Dave Sitek, Jaleel Bunton, Gerard Smith -    are indeed from Brooklyn.
   3.    But sometimes it's ok to leave. The band recorded Nine Types of Light in Los    Angeles, the first time they have recorded outside of Brooklyn. In 2010, the    group's multi-instrumentalist, producer and sometimes beat-boxer, Dave Sitek,    moved to Los Angeles because he wanted a change of scenery. Nine Types of    Light was recorded at his home studio. The experience of recording away from    the friendly confines of Greenpoint and Williamsburg wasn't such a pleasant    one, however, but not because of any reactionary dislike of LA that sometimes    comes from New Yorkers. "I actually like Los Angeles a lot," says Jaleel.    "But if there's a bohemian part of the city, a place that can be a creative    sanctuary, we were staying in a place that was the opposite."
   "It was in a high-end mall down the street from Rodeo Drive, and a few blocks    from the Modern Instituted of Plastic Surgery," says Tunde. "And they were    doing construction on our floor the whole time we were there. It wasn't so    much squalor as it was...if I were a door-to-door salesman, it's where I    would kill myself."
   Nine Types of Light was written and recorded in about three months - slightly    quicker than they've recorded any previous album.
   4.    TV On The Radio do not write traditional pop songs. Often, they change    direction two or three times in one song. Distorted guitars, sauntering and    reverberating bass, TVOTR tunes are just-barely containing an explosive    amount of energy underneath itself - and that tension is nothing less than    thrilling. It has become somewhat of a signature of the band, particularly    matched with Tunde's serene and poetic vocals. On this album, the group takes    an admittedly simpler approach to some of their songs. "Will Do," starts out    with wind chimes before giving away to that trademark buzz, with Tunde    singing about the yearning for his ungovernable, unrequited love of another.    "I think the songs on this album, to me, maybe sound simpler," Tunde says.    "But it just might be that we have gotten better at what we do."
   Other songs on Nine Types Of Light include more up-tempo post-rock jams like    "No Future Shock" (vocals by Kyp) and the '80s-rap-beat "Caffeinated    Consciousness," which sounds like it was influenced by Big Audio Dynamite.    There are two songs, "All Falls Down" and "The Troubles," that will be    available on the Deluxe Edition of the album.
   5.    Nine Types of Light might sound like a peculiar name for an album. Perhaps a    reference to a core scientific principle on the refraction of sunlight. Or a    grand ideology of film or photography techniques. But the album title    actually isn't a reference to anything specific, the band says. It holds no    cryptic meaning. "It's something that kept circling around in my head," Tunde    says. "It struck me as odd that that phrase, when you keep it to just nine    types of light, it's excluding a billion other types of light. I like how    it's a little slippery." Thus, no one should ask Tunde to actually list the    nine types of light he is referring to.
   6.    There is a cycle that a band goes through with each release that involves    recording an album, releasing it and then touring behind it. For a group with    a loyal and growing fan-base like TV On The Radio, that cycle can last about    two years, which is an awful lot of time to spend with people in a    highly-creative environment. This is what happened after Dear Science. "After    the last show (for Dear Science), I just wanted to do anything that wasn't    this," Tunde explains. "It was such an intense experience - not bad or good    necessarily, just intense. I spent a lot of time after that writing and    drawing pictures." Says Gerard Smith, "It allows us to do the other things we    want to do, or to just decompress, and then come back to the band with some    focus. We don't ever want to feel like we have to do this, that it's a job,    necessarily."
   7.    As celebrated and wonderful as TV On The Radio is, the entity is not enough    to contain the entire creative thirst of its members, and the band's five    members accomplished in the time between albums. Tunde and Gerard wrote and    composed music for "The Lottery," a documentary that looks at public    education through the eyes of Harlem's Success Academy annual intake lottery.    Tunde also worked on a series of short film that he says may or may not ever    see the light of day. He, of course, also starred in the Oscar-nominated    film, Rachel Getting Married. Gerard spent time making music on his own,    producing new music from the NYC-based Midnight Masses. Jaleel spent the    period in between records moving out from behind the drums to playing guitar    again, his first instrument. He also played in the blues and gospel band,    Reverend Vince Anderson & His Love Choir ("One of my favorite gigs ever," he    says.), and continued to periodically tend bar at legendary Lower East Side    bar, Max Fish.
   Dave Sitek released his own solo album, under the name, Maximum Balloon    (DGC/Interscope), which featured friends like Karen O, Theophilus London and    David Byrne. He played with, collaborated with and produced artists like the    Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wale and Holly Miranda. Recently he announced he would be    producing and playing bass on the new album from Jane's Addiction. Kyp    released his solo album under the name Rain Machine, and embarked on a couple    of brief tours, including a recent one with his friend from San Francisco,    singer-songwriter, Jolie Holland. One would think the last thing they'd want    to do during a break would be more recording and touring, but Kyp felt    differently. He says, "I feel like every concentrated experience of making a    record, touring a record, and playing with different people, dealing with    different social dynamics potentially increases my musicianship and how I    understand music."
   8.    TV On The Radio plan an extensive tour beginning just before the release of    Nine Types of Light. They will headline Radio City Music Hall in New York on    April 13, the day after the album's release.
