Yes sir some new Theo London for y’all on this fine Wednesday. This is a cut that won’t make it on Theo’s final release of Timez are Weird These Days, but will wind up on a future mixtape, called Prince TL. Thanks to HF. The album drops on the 19th! Make sure to pick it up!

Maximum Balloon is the new project of Dave Sitek from TV On The Radio. The album ‘Maximum Balloon’ is out on 24th September (Germany).

I’ve had no idea what the Maximum Balloon project is until now, but it seems like a great initiative. Here’s the official info:

Maximum Balloon, the debut from David Andrew Sitek; guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer for TV On The Radio, as well as such critically-acclaimed and popular bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars and Scarlett Johansson’s album of Tom Waits covers, will be released on August 24th on DGC/Interscope Records.

Sitek recruited some of his favorite singers to co-write and lend vocals to his songs: artists he’s helped produce over the last 8 years as well as those he met as one of the originators of the formative New York-based indie-rock scene. Those artists include Karen O, the spectacular front-woman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs; stylish rap wordsmith Theophilus London; old friend Katrina Ford from the Baltimore-based band, Celebration; the torchlight talent of New York’s Holly Miranda; legendary Talking Heads frontman David Byrne; Brooklyn based Aku from Dragons of Zynth, Swedish electronic band Little Dragon; Shivaree vocalist Ambrosia Parsely; and, of course, TV On The Radio bandmates Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone.
