TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain
CML call number: CD/ROCK/TV
Contents: I Was A Lover, Hours, Province, Playhouses, Wolf like Me, A Method, Let the Devil In, Dirtywhirl, Blues from Down Here, Tonight, Wash the Day.
Sean Cooper wrote in Wired: "'I’m obsessed with making anything audible into an instrument,' says David Andrew Sitek, producer and a member of TV on the Radio. On the Brooklyn group’s new album, Return to Cookie Mountain, he transformed everyday sounds into hip-thrusting ditties by running samples through an array of mikes and effects boxes, then bouncing the increasingly unrecognizable clips between tape reel and hard drive. And that was before the band signed a lucrative contract with Interscope. 'If we’d had the money earlier, we probably would have recorded under a waterfall with a live chimp orchestra,' Sitek says. A guy with such an eclectic track record – he’s also produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Liars, and even Massive Attack – must have a favorite piece of studio gear. 'My mouth,' he says. “I persuade people to try some pretty preposterous things'" ("High on Sound," 9/06, p. 48).
