Listening • They All Got It Wrong

The supposed end of the world, the last amplifier. No great crescendo, just the open air, desert breeze, a bright white light. Or is this the end for us all? Like the Titanic’s unflappable violinists, the end of the world isn’t all post-rock—it can be dipping piano, climaxing if the world deserves it, and I think it does. TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone moderates pre- to post-apocalypse transition in this side project named Iran. The band move from lo- to hi-fi sounds, keeping a bit of noise and experiments from their previous release but expanding their palette, dimensional awareness, and popular appeal. —Mike Smith, Dec. 5, 2008
