Brooklyn's TV On The Radio have always had massive appeal to critics and hipsters alike but have yet to really strike a chord across boundaries and impress a wide audience like a band such as Radiohead. Dear Science should easily change all that, because not only is it TV On The Radio's third masterpiece in a row it's also, by far, their most accessible album that trades in "musically difficult and brainy" for "brainy Dance oriented Indie-Rock" that also happens to be incredibly accessible.

Credit the move to a band just trying to keep things fresh and challenging for themselves and staying ahead of espectations from critics and demanding fans alike. No one could have fathomed OK Computer after The Bends and I guarantee that no one expected groove laden Electronics all over Dear Science after the technically brilliant, angular guitar work that dominated Return To Cookie Mountain. Yet so it is and we're damn lucky to have a band this adventurous who manage to never compromise integrity.

Opening track "Halfway Home" and the Talking Heads inspired "Crying" are stellar beyond words, as is the avante dark "Dancing Choose" which finds lead man Tunde Adepimbe almost full out rapping over dark horns lead by guest musicians from Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra. The most beautiful track for me though has to be "Family Tree" which is awash in lush strings and Adepimbe's angelic voice ringing true like a Valentine from a loved one. If TV On The Radio keep cranking out albums like this, it'll soon be inevitable that people will call them America's best answer to Radiohead. Lofty praise, but more than deserved.
