We Are Scientists - Barbara

· ‘Barbara’ is the new record from New York-originating We Are Scientists. Their third major release, it’s as good as the name itself suggests.

· Longtime We Are Scientists listeners will hear a record that resembles debut ‘With Love & Squalor’ in its 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 flavour all its own, and it’s borne 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 ten 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’.

· Available on CD, limited edition LP (500 copies) and digital download.
