Ahead of their comeback residencies kicking off next week, TV on the Radio came together to perform “Staring at the Sun” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night.
Draped in orange light, the band delivered a vigorous performance of the 2004 cut from their debut album, Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes. Throughout, the steady drive of the rhythm section and the washed-out wail of the electric guitar provide a foundation for vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, who leads the group to a climax with his belting refrain, “Your body’s over me.” Watch the video of the performance below.
