new TV On The Radio :: “dancing choose”

Here's the latest song to surface from TVOTR's new Dear Science LP (out Sept. 23). "Dancing Choose" finds Tunde Adebimpe essentially rapping frantically about a dude that "gets his ideas from a newspaper stand" and whose decisions are "underwritten by the cash in his hand." Rolling Stone calls the song the band's answer to R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It." Unfortunately, I can't stand that song, and this one didn't blow me away upon first listen either. But, it is growing on me, and it sounds like it could definitely evolve into bona fide banger status when performed live, with Tunde's elbows flying all over the place as an accompanying visual. Stream it here before it's gone.
