Download Now: Young Love-Maximum Balloon


So the story goes like this....David Sitek, aka the white guy in TV On The Radio, starts making a solo album, tries to sing over his self produced music and sounds like shit. Lucky for him, he's got some cool friends with better voices and enlists them to guest on his side project, Maximum Balloon. It's no surprise that this album is pretty amazing. After all, Sitek has been the man behind the production on TVOTR's three studio albums, arguably some of the best and innovative music from the previous decade. The pretty amazing part becomes even more amaze when the guests include David Byrne, Karen O, Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon, and Tunde and Kyp from TVOTR.

"I'LL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THE ABOUT THE END OF TIME..."

Though the previous vocalists mentioned above do a great job on their respective tracks, it's Katrina Ford, singer for Baltimore based band Celebration, that steals the cake for me on "Young Love." Behind some of Sitek's thumping drum and synth beats, Ford's voice sucks you in, and orders you to join her in the "big parade," full of better times, big dreams, and hopefully a lot more albums produced by David Sitek, which all pretty much rule more than a ruler. Check the mp3 below for personal verification of awesomeness.
