TV on the Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain
Question readers, did you pick up Spin magazine back in January? If you did, good on you because you’ll know that TV on the Radio’s Return to Cookie Mountain was voted one of the best albums of 2006! And it’s certainly earned that coveted spot. This band hails from the indie music capital of the East Coast, Brooklyn, NY. TVOTR sounds like no other band out right now, and adding to their creative vision, each member is an artist in his own right. Question readers, did you pick up Spin magazine back in January?

The lyrics play out like poetry on vocals that swing deep and low – up to a falsetto reminiscent of Prince – and are surrounded by psychedelic funk, doo-wop, prog rock and even gospel. Return to Cookie Mountain is drenched in diversity. It’s atmospheric and weird without being so tragically hip and incomprehensible that you can’t fully appreciate what you’re hearing. You cannot listen to this album without finding something that appeals to your senses. It’s artistic noise that transformed into a work of pure musical art.
