TV On The Radio Working On New Material - Album Out In 2013?

American indie-rockers TV on the Radio have begun work on what will be their fifth studio album, according to the group’s frontman Tunde Adebimpe.
The band last released a record in 2011 with ‘Nine Types of Light’, but after being rocked by the tragic loss of bassist Gerard Smith to lung cancer, the band entered a quieter period. But now, they’ve marked 2013 as the year they return, and work on some new material has started - and it will eventually lead to a new album.
“Kyp Malone and I went to Dave Sitek's place and studio in L.A. the last week of March and we finished a couple of songs. I'm not sure what's gonna be out when, but there's new stuff coming. We're sort of collecting material for a record, but right now we're only thinking in terms of songs, smaller things we can put out regularly until an album seems possible. Which I love. It's not that you're less precious about the process, but I like coming in and saying, ‘Let's make a couple songs,’ not feeling any sort of pressure to lock ourselves in a room.”
Adebimpe also revealed that the band had parted ways with their label Interscope, and that any future releases would come out via Dave Sitek's label Federal Prism.
If you’re a fan of the band, you’ll be pleased to know that they’ve been selected to curate May’s All Tomorrow’s Parties, which take place in Pontins Holiday Centre, Camber Sands. If you’re interested and want tickets, follow the link below!
