History

Dear Science was recorded in 2008 at the Stay Gold studio in Brooklyn, New York.[4] Musically, the album has been described as indie rock,[5] art rock,[6] funk,[7] soul,[7] and post-punk.[7] Kyp Malone said that the album's title came from "a note that Dave [Sitek] wrote in the studio that said,

"Dear Science, please start solving problems and curing diseases or shut the fuck up."[8]

Despite the marketed release date of September 22–23, the album was available for download on the U.S. iTunes Store on September 16, 2008. The vinyl LP also comes with a free MP3 download coupon. Dear Science received near unanimous acclaim from critics and charted worldwide. In promotion of the album, TV on the Radio was interviewed on the February 9, 2009 episode of The Colbert Report, "Dancing Choose" was performed to end the show. The rock band Phish began covering "Golden Age" in 2009.[9]
