Barbara on CD

2010 release from the American Alt-Rock outfit. Longtime We Are Scientists listeners will hear a record that resembles debut with Love & Squalor in it's tendency to sound like three guys playing and singing and drinking and, very occasionally, cussing. Recent converts will appreciate the continuation of melodic and lyrical trends begun on the second record, Brain Thrust Mastery. But Barbara has a flavor all it's own, and it's born of a couple of years' extra hair on the chest(s), plus a brand new set of hands and feet behind the drum kit in the shape of Andy Burrows (ex-Razorlight).The results represent We Are Scientists' finest work in their 10 years, from early singles 'Rules Don't Stop' and 'Nice Guys', each a brutally efficient pop reduction, to expansive harmonic adventures 'Pittsburgh' and 'Foreign Kicks'.
