Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes - TV On The Radio (2004)

Discog-ology: Going through an artist’s albums, or at least the ones I haven’t written up yet, in order.

TVOTR knew what they wanted from early on. This first record is already hitting the ground at full speed.

Soaring vocals, horns, distorted guitars, layered rhythms. Everything that would make this band great is here, just in its nascent form.

Tracks I Liked

The Wrong Way - a great opener that sounds a bit like Tom Waits filtered through Fugazi

Dreams - a little more mellow but just as serious

Staring At The Sun - the big single
