New TV On The Radio Video - "Golden Age"

thumbnail icon: New TV On The Radio Video - "Golden Age"

When posting about TV On The Radio's "Dancing Choose," I mentioned that the funky, optimistic, and mystic "Golden Age" struck me as a little P.M. Dawn-esque in the chorus. Well, in the video for the Dear Science clip, the guys go down a particularly P.M. path, mixing white monk robes and hand claps with Care Bear Stare action, synchronized police men (and woman), animal heads, golden instruments, and proof that Kyp, Tunde, Dave, Gerard, and Jaleel have been hitting the gym hardcore.

It's still not entirely clear what this golden age involves or when it'll arrive, but judging from the video it should definitely chart high on that Out list.

Dear Science is out 9/23 via Interscope. As mentioned, we like it a lot.

the new rock is disco- at least for singles- see Verve, TVOR, Kings of Leon, and I hear Killers is doing 130 BBM too- (they were never really rock) - but overall - Rock is the new Disco- and once again for a bout 15 minutes.
