Sub Pop debut by TV On The Radio singer, accomplished solo musician, animator ("Celebrity Deathmatch") and actor ("Marriage Story", "Spider-Man: Homecoming") Tunde Adebimpe. For the last 24 years, Adebimpe has largely been known as the co-founder, co-vocalist and principal songwriter for TV On The Radio.
The mostly-black art-rock band triumphed through two decades of volatile cultural change to become one of the most beloved, enduring, and influential groups from New York City's early-2000s rock scene. Though Tunde's poetic songwriting and towering vocals are central to TV On The Radio, the band will always be a collaboration between a group of musicians. His first-ever solo album, "Thee Black Boltz", is not a TV On The Radio album.
But the excitement of doing something on his own ignited a similar spark in Tunde as the early TV On The Radio days. The songwriting process is the same, but without his TVOTR bandmates Tunde "didn't have that scaffolding to hang on. That was both terrifying and exhilarating". "Thee Black Boltz" is a powerful, inspired, and inspiring indie-rock album that grasps for small moments of joy amidst the dissonance and sadness of personal grief and social upheaval.
