Daily Dose Pick: Maximum Balloon

By Doug Levy on

TV on the Radio’s David Andrew Sitek indulges his dancier side with Maximum Balloon, a collaborative project featuring vocals from Karen O, David Byrne, and Theophilus London.

The eponymous album also includes appearances by Sitek’s bandmates Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, but he keeps things clear of darker TVotR territory by lacing the tracks with bright, dance-floor ready beats and bleeps. As with most multi-vocalist undertakings, the results vary with the contributors themselves, but Sitek’s skill as a producer shines throughout.

Visit the official Maximum Balloon website, become a fan on Facebook, read Sitek’s track-by-track explanation of the record, follow him on Twitter, and buy a copy of the album.
