Hear TV on the Radio Go Blissfully Numb on ‘Happy Idiot’

TV on the Radio Happy Idiot Seeds Tour Stream

TV on the Radio teased their fifth studio album Seeds back in July with a gooey kaleidoscopic trailer and precious few other details, but today they’ve finally shared a little more including a November release date, a full track list, the album cover, and a sunny track about bottoming out called “Happy Idiot.” The new cut is a typically straining post-punk exercise, replete with skittering hi-hats, tensile guitar lines, and breathy electronic flourishes. You can listen to that above along with a psychedelic lyric video.

Like the rest of the album’s 12 tracks, “Happy Idiot” was produced by the SPIN cover stars’ own Dave Sitek. Check out the album cover, track list, and a spate of upcoming tour dates below.

Seeds will bloom in full on November 18 on Harvest Records, but a pre-order is ongoing now.
