We Are Scientists

pretty much my favourite band of all time. their first album (with love and squalor) is by far my favourite record of the past few years and i think i could just sit and listen to it for the rest of my days quite happily. i have managed to learn the entire album from start to finish on guitar, bass, vocals, and air drums. also, i think my sheer adoration of this band isn't helped my the slight crush i have on keith murray, the lead singer..

i just think they need some fecking credit, because they only recently seem to be getting any radio play with their new-ish single 'after hours', and tend to be left out of lineups for any big festivals, when in fact they are probably a hugely influential band.

after too long in the recording studio they have released a second album 'brain thrust mastery' and after a few listens through i have found a few great tracks (lets see it, chick lit, tonight), but i don't think it lives up to its predecessor. im not saying its a bad album though, its still amazing, just not compared to their debut. im expecting it to be a grower, and within months i know i will be blaring it on repeat throughout the house.

another thing i love about them is their sense of humour, they are quite an odd bunch, and if you just take a look at some of their videos on youtube, you might fall for them without having listened to a song. here's just a suggestion, to give you an insight into their strange minds, we are scientists at the NME awards 2008.
