TV on the Radio's Dear Science (Comma)

Tuesday September 2, 2008
In a move that will arouse punctuation-fetishists and annoy sub-editors everywhere, TV on the Radio's latest opus is entitled Dear Science,. Yes, that comma is inclusive. Even though the actual album artwork doesn't feature the controversial comma in question, the band have let it be known that the title must be becomma'd; the record being, if only on some conceptual level, an open letter to human understanding and the limitations of overbearing rationalism.

Though the album found producer/mastermind Dave Sitek attempting to simplify his incredibly-busy, densely-layered approach to production, the sound of TVOTR's third LP should be familiar to any fan of the band. Due for release on September 23, Dear Science, will be taken unto the people, with a run of live dates around the record's release.

Dear Science, Track List
1. "Halfway Home"
2. "Crying"
3. "Dancing Choose"
4. "Stork & Owl"
5. "Golden Age"
6. "Family Tree"
7. "Red Dress"
8. "Love Dog"
9. "Shout Me Out"
