Dear Science, the third studio album by TV on the Radio, was recorded primarily at Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, New York, and completed in 2008. The album was produced by the band themselves alongside David Fridmann, an experienced producer known for his work with The Flaming Lips and other alternative acts. The recording process emphasized layered vocal harmonies and electronic textures, with the band experimenting with synthesizers and drum programming while maintaining live instrumentation.
