These days, I'm wouldn't even pretend to boast about being the first kid on the block to get to know about this or that band. I wasn't a super early adopter 10 or so years ago, but I do remember catching an early wind of TV On The Radio's Young Liars EP and knowing there was something special about them, even if in retrospect they were just beginning to crawl out the Williamsburg murk and into the sunshine of global acclaim.
That debut work continues to sounds great. In some ways, even better than the big brilliance of what they've evolved into. This song remains my favorite — a bold cover that absolutely re-imagines (and arguably overtakes) an indie rock semi-classic. People talk about the voices that haunt. This has about 15 of them.
