There is a new TV on the Radio album in the pipeline, Tunde Adebimpe says, but for now there he is having fun with the Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band. It’s a side project with friends Ryan Sawyer (Lone Wolf and Cub), Josh Werner (Lee “Scratch” Perry, CocoRosie) and Alex Holden (Big Numbers), and the band’s self-titled debut is a head trip of expansive guitar work and post-punk/Afrobeat rhythms. The video, directed by Adebimpe, is all about mortality. But isn’t everything?
