TV On The Radio - Nine Types of Light



Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by TV on the Radio. The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to help direct the music videos. Tunde Adebimpe, the director for the full Nine Types of Light movie, storybooked the music videos together with interviews from local New Yorkers on various topics, including dreams, love, fame and the future. Nine Types of Light, both the album and the movie were released on April 12, 2011. Runtime - 59:49

One of my favorite bands. They have a very cool, funky sound - definitely isn't the typical "alternative/indie" genre band. Album listing is below. "You" and "Will Do" are tops in my books, but all deserve a listen to really get a sense of how complex and how talented these guys are.

1 - "Second Song"
2 - "Keep Your Heart"
3 - "You"
4 - "No Future Shock"
5 - "Killer Crane"
6 - "Will Do"
7 - "New Cannonball Blues"
8 - "Repetition"
9 - "Forgotten"
10 - "Caffeinated Consciousness"
