TV on the Radio's Gerard Smith succumbs to lung cancer

TV on the Radio bassist Gerard Smith has died of lung cancer, the band announced on its official website Wednesday. He was 36.

"We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer," the band's statement reads on an all-black homepage. "Gerard passed away the morning of April 20th, 2011. We will miss him terribly."

Smith had reportedly been undergoing treatment for lung cancer and was not able to join the band's U.S. tour in support of its latest album, "Nine Types of Light," released just last week.

"Gerard is fortunate enough to have health insurance and is receiving excellent medical care. Already we have seen dramatic results," the band wrote in a statement in March. "Combine that with Gerard's legendarily willful disposition and it might just be cancer that has the problem. We appreciate your concern and support for Gerard and his family."

The band’s heralded disc debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard charts released Wednesday.

In support of the album, TV on the Radio released a one-hour film featuring music videos for all the songs on the album spliced with interviews from New Yorkers, which you can watch below.

Smith joined the group full-time in 2005 before the release of 2006's “Return to Cookie Mountain.”

The band has now canceled all tour dates through Tuesday including stops in Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit and Denver and adds that there will be more information as it becomes available.

Album review: TV on the Radio's 'Nine Types of Light'

For a group that first established itself with arresting albums coated in murky atmosphere and deep organic shadows, TV on the Radio sure seems to be in a good mood lately. After 2006’s “Return to Cookie Mountain” earned raves for building a sonic world soaked in the weary outrage of post-Katrina America, the follow-up, “Dear Science,” was the sound of a band stepping out of the darkness, merging its dense, lattice-work song craft with its most immediate melodies yet.

But any TVOTR fans hoping for a return to the band’s heavier early days might have trouble with “Nine Types of Light,” an album full of such a brilliant clarity that the title could be referencing its track listing (a 10th song, “Caffeinated Consciousness,” maybe qualifies as the exception with its swaggering guitar churn, but even that comes off like a populist anthem). Nimble vocalists Tunde Adepimbe and Kyp Malone have plenty of room to navigate the album’s wide open spaces, such as the seesawing horns and chewy synths of opener “Second Song,” which sounds like something from the most R&B-dusted corners of Peter Gabriel’s catalog. “Keep Your Heart” and “You” function like lovesick bookends with chugging beats balanced with plucked guitar and piano.

More driving moments, such as the snide dance-rock of “No Future Shock” and the militaristic punch of “Repetition,” show that the band still has an eye toward the larger world, but these are exceptions on an album concerned with examining more intimate connections, not the least of which is an ever-growing one between a group and its listeners.
