TV On The Radio - Caffeinated Consciousness (Nine Types Of Light)


On April 12, 2011, Brooklyn-based experimental rockers TV On The Radio will release their fourth studio album, Nine Types Of Light, via Interscope. April 12 is not that far away, but far too long to not hear any new material from these soul-masters. There is no need to worry. The band released 'Will Do' on February 23, 2011 , and 'Caffeinated Consciousness' on March 10, 2011. 'Will Do' is a pop-ballad that will please many, while 'Caffeinated Consciousness' is balls-out rock 'n' roll. Nextnewmusic.net compares this track to having "an amped up So-era Peter Gabriel tone to it", which I couldn't agree with more. I also hear elements of psychedelic rock and punk rock. Personally, 'Caffeinated Consciousness' is TV On The Radio's next-best track to 'Wolf Like Me' (off of Return To Cookie Mountain). This, however, is just a personal opinion and TV On The Radio's entire collection is outstanding. One thing is certain, TV On The Radio will have some tricks up their sleeves with the release of Nine Types Of Light, and good tricks at that.
