Read this to get more info...or just watch the damn thing.
TV On the Radio just released their newest LP, Nine Types of Light, where they have filmed a music video for each 10 tracks, and will be stitching those videos together to make a full-feature film. Well, that film was screened in NYC this week, and now TVOTR have put the film out for everyone to see.
One of the band's singers, Tunde Adebimpe,told NYC writer Brock Fetch, the band is proud of this new film, and were excited to share it with the world.
From TV On the Radio:
Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by TV on the Radio. The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to help direct the music videos. Tunde Adebimpe, the director for the full Nine Types of Light movie, storybooked the music videos together with interviews from local New Yorkers on various topics, including dreams, love, fame and the future. Tunde also directed the music video for Forgotten.

As Tunde Adebimpe, one of the band’s vocalists, said in an interview, “For less than the price of a Maroon 5 video, you can make a full-length feature.”
This video, for the track, "Will Do," will be part of the film, also called Nine Types of Light. The film will be part of a deluxe CD set. “The things that we have been asked to do to add value to something that we feel is pretty valuable already, it’s weird after a while, “ Mr. Adebimpe said, “where you’re kind of like, I don’t want that person to do a remix, I don’t have it in me to make another song.”
