(Polydor)
Considering the plaudits heaped on TVOTR's last album, Dear Science, this follow-up seems to have arrived to a rather muted fanfare. Maybe their many side-projects are to blame ? the Brooklyn band have variously been acting, soundtracking, producing and recording other albums in the meantime. You can't pick fault with the music, though. Nine Types of Light is a relatively relaxed affair with a focus on the simple love song (Keep Your Heart has Kyp Malone singing tenderly: "With the world all falling apart/ I'm gonna keep your heart"). It's not the quantum leap forward they achieved with Dear Science, but you only need hear opener Second Song ? which somehow blends an alt-country melody with a cosmic funk chorus requesting "Every lover on a mission, shift your known position" ? to realise this band are still light years ahead of their peers.
