As an arts-and-culture guide operating in Brooklyn, we suppose it's our duty to let you know that TV on the Radio has offered up another taste of their forthcoming album, Nine Types of Light, which, for the record, is a pretty kick-ass album title. In a step in the right direction from the smoothed-out, R&B-tinged "Will Do" that began circulating a few weeks ago, “Caffeinated Consciousness” showcases Tunde's vocals jabbing into something that could be found on a Red Hot Chili Peppers album. It has a cool vibe mixed with just the right amount of grit, but I can't help but find it slightly underwhelming when compared to the tense, on-the-verge energy of previous standouts like "Staring at the Sun" and "Wolf Like Me," though I realize saying anything negative about these guys is never of popular opinion. See for yourself in the stream (also available for free download in exchange for your e-mail address) after the jump.
