On September 23rd, TV On the Radio will Cheap Rosetta Stone return with Dear Science, the groups follow-up to their breakthrough record Return To Cookie Mountain. Rosetta Stone caught up with the band to talk about the making of the new disc, why the group set out to make a more dancier, upbeat album than the doom-and-gloom mood of Cookie Mountain and some of the ridiculous alternate titles that the group batted around.Your new record Dear Science has a much cleaner vibe than the industrial mood of Return to Cookie Mountain. What ideas did you guys have when you set out to make this record? Tunde Adebimpe: Well, I think going into it, we always try to come to recording pretty fresh and the time that we have off from touring, everybody kind of goes back into their cave and makes some demos. This time the only thing that got tossed around loosely was that Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 everybody wanted to make a dance record, or at least our version of a dance record. The songs that got brought in kind of ended up being that way. Were not as murky as we had been before. I like it when I go to a concert and I get lost in a group of people who are just dancing as if they were in a club. Its more about a collective experience instead of a passive observational thing. Dave Sitek: These songs are just cleaner and punchier. With this record, we faded out the question mark and faded in the exclamation point.How many songs did you prepare? TA: When we started this record we probably had about 32 or 33 songs in demo form that were brought in, and then we kept whittling that down to fourteen or so that ended up on the record.Any plans to release the leftover demos? DS: We have hard Rosetta Stone Italian drives full of stuff. We recorded 26 songs for the record and we only really finished 13. Well put them out when were all in tax trouble. Who knows?Whats the title refer to? TA: Dave had written this letter addressed to science in kind of a kids handwriting and it said, "Dear Science, please fix all the things you keep talking about or shut the fuck up." And that ended up in the washer when we were picking titles. I think were going to post all of the titles, because while we were recording the record, everyone would give their two cents as to what the title should be. Theres a long, long list of horrible titles. Dear Science is probably the most tasteful of all of those.What other titles were kicked around? TA: Black Versus French Fries in the Battle For The Delicious Universe and Thick as Chicken Feed. There were several Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 food related ones and they were just horrible.
