TVOTR’s Kyp Malone Reveals Rain Machine Details, Weird Cover Art
TV on the Radio’s Kyp Malone is semi-boldly going where many members of successful bands have gone before; Sololand. The cover art and tracklisting for Rain Machine’s debut was recently revealed, and I’ve been slowly digesting the various live videos that have surfaced.
The album cover art was drawn by Malone himself, and I obviously do not understand it (perhaps via Chuck Klosterman’s Advancement Theory). Clearly, Kyp likes rainbows. And…water. And lions. And naked chicks. I mean, who doesn’t? (Except for lions. I could take or leave the lions). This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to like them all at once (especially not with Crayola Classic Fine Line Markers. Why?).
Considering the fact that every TV on the Radio album is a masterpiece, I am expecting Rain Machine’s music to offset that brain-melting cover. Sadly, as of right now, I can neither confirm nor deny that it will (just in case you missed it the first time, you need to click here).
Is this just weird for the sake of being weird? I cannot wait to hear this. I’ll give him that.
Take the RS Album of the Year and run, Malone.
