TV on the Radio

TV on the Radio is truly a spectacular force within the music industry. They're a genre-bending quintet from Brooklyn who left an indelible mark on the indie rock scene since debuting in 2001. Best known for their experimental sound, TVOTR mixes elements of post-punk, electronica, and free jazz into their work, resulting in an undeniably unique and tuneful fusion. Their music videos, much like their sound, defy the norm and are equally enthralling.

One of TV on the Radio's most popular videos is for their song "Wolf Like Me," which beautifully captures the raw, angst-ridden energy of the track. It reflects the group’s do-it-yourself ethos, featuring the band members running through the city streets at night, blending reality with wild, imagined scenarios using clever editing tricks. Another notable video is "Nine Types of Light," a full-length, 61-minute visual companion to the album of the same name. Its unconventional narrative and captivating visuals tell multiple stories simultaneously, a narrative technique that's rarely seen in music videos. Now, talking about fun fact, it might be interesting to note that band's member Tunde Adebimpe is not just a talented musician but also an accomplished actor. He starred in the romantic comedy "Jump Tomorrow," long before TV on the Radio hit the big time.
