This Brooklyn-based quintet, one of the most inventive bands of the 2000s, combines a variety of disparate sounds, including electronica, indie guitar rock, free jazz, funk, soul, and a cappella doo-wop vocals, into a lively and artistic sound that is reminiscent of Funkadelic, the Beach Boys, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Otis Redding, and even Aphex Twin. Although it's not precisely pop music, TV on the Radio's major-label debut album "Return to Cookie Mountain" in 2006 and its follow-up, "Dear Science," in 2008, received high marks from reviewers and fans alike.Together with his roommate David Andrew Sitek, a producer of underground rock bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Liars, Tunde Adebimpe, who was up in Nigeria surrounded by Indian and African musical forms, founded TV on the Radio in 2001. Both Sitek and Adebimpe were visual artists; Sitek painted, and Adebimpe had worked as an animator on MTV's Celebrity Death Match. As TVOTR, the two independently issued an odd, low-fi album titled OK Calculator, a Zappa-esque parody of Radiohead's OK Computer. The duet gained popularity, and when guitarist Kyp Malone, drummer Jaleel Bunton, and bassist Gerard Smith joined, the group became a complete band.
The group's third full-length album, "Dear Science," was published in 2008 and made its Billboard Top 200 debut at position twelve.
The band said they were working on a new album on November 8, 2013, via their Facebook page. On July 29, 2014, they formally declared that the release date of their upcoming album, Seeds, was set for the end of the year..
