Return To Cookie Mountain: Vinyl LP TV On The Radio

This was the album
that established once and for all that TV on the Radio were more than just a great idea for a band; they were a great band, period ‐
Stereogum, 2016. Evoking Fear of Music (Talking Heads), Station to Station (David Bowie), and Sign ‘O” the Times (Prince), the
resulting disc might be the most oddly beautiful, psychedelic, and ambitious of the year… Consider your mind blown. — (4.5/5 stars)
Rolling Stone, 2006 // TV On The Radio’s story is one of synchronicity, of serendipity, of epiphany. TVOTR began with Tunde
Adebimpe (vocals) and David Sitek (multi‐instrumentalist and production kingpin) being roommates, drinking way too much coffee,
making art: comics, movies, paintings. They started trading tapes of each other’s four track recordings and thought it’d be fun to try to
make “”a real record”” out of all that stuff. Touch And Go released TV On The Radio’s stunning EP “Young Liars” in July 2003, and it
immediately marked them out as one of the most musically innovative bands to have emerged in years. Their debut full‐length
“Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes” set 2004 off to a dramatically positive start. With new member Kyp Malone sharing songwriting,
guitar and vocal duties, TVOTR was quickly on the path to the being one of the most talked‐about new groups in America. After touring
as a trio, Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) joined the band to create the official TVOTR line up. The band’s second
studio album, Return to Cookie Mountain, leaked in early 2006 and garnered pre‐release praise from such outlets as Pitchfork before
its official release in July. Return to Cookie Mountain is filled with guest appearances from David Bowie, Celebration, Antibalas,
Blonde Redhead, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner”
