They'll release their five-song self-titled EP on October 1 via their label, ZNA Records. That's EP opener "The Blast, the Bloom" above, along with the cover art.In addition to Adebimpe, the band's members are Ryan Sawyer (Lone Wolf and Cub), Josh Werner (Lee "Scratch" Perry, CocoRosie), and Alex Holden (Big Numbers).
The band is also holding a Sunday night residency at Brooklyn's Union Pool in October. (Last fall, the band played a Hurricane Sandy relief benefit at Union Pool with Yeah Yeah Yeahs.)
Meanwhile, TV on the Radio just released a new single, "Mercy".
