Young Liars

TV on the Radio

Gritty Brooklyn art rock where doo-wop harmonies collide with distorted drum machines. A dense, soulful transmission from the 2003 underground.

It's like a 1950s vocal group got lost in a futuristic, distorted Brooklyn basement.

A vibrating, soulful anxiety that feels both claustrophobic and strangely triumphant.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden explosion of distorted guitar and frantic drums that breaks the tension in Staring at the Sun.
The eerie, multi-tracked a cappella harmonies that transform the Pixies' Mr. Grieves into a ghostly spiritual.
The slow, hypnotic build of Blind as it stretches over seven minutes of murky, rhythmic tension.
