Nine Types of Light officially drops next Tuesday, but give it a premature spin over at Rhapsody. Our favorite new TV on the Radio track is still “Caffeinated Consciousness” – listen to it below!

Now we know what the members of TV on the Radio fantasize about, thanks to their sci-fi influenced music video for “Will Do,” in which they use a virtual reality machine. It’s kind of sad, actually. We much prefer this caffeinated track. Anyhow, enjoy the video below:

Now this is more like it! “Caffeinated Consciousness” is another new track from TV on the Radio (after releasing “Will Do“) and it sounds more like the TV on the Radio we love. Like its titular implication, the song jumps and jitters like it’s been poured a few cups of coffee. Download it below! Nine Types of Light will be released on April 12th and now we’re officially excited for it.

So the four name wonder that is Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson is playing tonight at Glasslands in Williamsburg opening for Kyp Malone’s (TV on the Radio) side project Rain Machine. If you don’t know about MBAR educate yourself by listening this little ditty entitled Woodfriend, my personal fave. Robinson has an evocative story telling style to his music with a folk sensibility while remaining firmly planted within the genre of pop. His voice and delivery are really curious. Malone is quoted with saying “He is in my opinion without a contemporary rival when it comes to story telling. Creating nuanced, breathing character portraits inside of pop structures. Like a lot of good music his songs feel like they are filling a predetermined space, like the ether was just waiting for him to connect the dots and give voice to them.” Take your valentine to his show or pick one up. His love songs are sure to soften the blackest of hearts.

met this girl/she said hey boy you’re a death head/i bet you’d be alright in bed/still i’ll take sleep instead
