Shortly after TV on the Radio announced their return to celebrate 20 years of their debut album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, the band’s Tunde Adebimpe has revealed that he’s signed a deal with Sub Pop, through whom he’s shared the new solo single “Magnetic.” The electro-punk song bubbles with metallic drums and a distorted bass line that provides the rhythmic propulsion for Adebimpe to work off of. Eventually the chorus is launched by well-placed handclaps, which are never a bad idea.
Sub Pop’s co-founder Jonathan Poneman said of the signing: “We heartily welcome Tunde Adebimpe to Sub Pop’s roster of artists. His inclusion makes the whole lot better—and a whole lot classier! We’ve waited 20-plus years for Sub Pop to earn the chance to be Tunde Adebimpe’s label.”
The track comes alongside a video, which was also directed by and stars the actor Adebimpe. Check that out below.
