‘This is beginning to feel like the bolt busted loose from the lever’
There’s magic to a song matched perfectly to a scene, or to closing credits, for a film or show. Cast your mind back to the close of Breaking Bad’s Season 2, Episode 10 ‘Over’ episode (Spoiler alert!). Walter White is at a hardware store when he sees a guy filling a cart with crystal meth ingredients. After quietly counselling the wannabe cook on his buying choices and the idiocy of purchasing it all in the same store, he later strides out to the parking lot to confront the rival and his beefy buddy – with DLZ playing at high volume on the soundtrack. In full-on Heisenberg menace, he stares down the supposed tough guy before uttering: ‘Stay out of my territory.’ Drunk on the power of his criminality, there’s no going back for Walter White. And TV on the Radio have arguably never been better than on the album Dear Science.
