...Adebimpe, now officially the Jamie Lidell of the hipster art-rock set, sang over a bed of his own “Mmmmms” and “Oooooohhs” vocals in a set that included “Young Liars,” an untitled solo track with a soulful reggae-style vocal sound, and new tracks “Dirty Whirlwind” and “A Method.” Tunde seemed genuinely modest when he said he was just singing “sketches” of the new songs “because there are usually people who can actually play backing me up,” but his performance to a crowd of about 75 people reaffirmed the massive vocal talent he possesses. Putting aside the slightly awkward attempt by Adebimpe to get the crowd to lay down a beat with handclaps (You tried your best, Tunde!), the show was yet another example of why TVOTR is one of the most creative bands on the planet right now. Oh, did I mention the sheer brilliance of the new album?!?!
