Hearts Of Black Science with 'Driver Lights' on Club AC30. This is a CD single only release. Its warm atmospheric synth pop with hints of shoegaze. The Radio Edit reminding me a lot of New Order with a more fragile Thom Yorke esque vocal. 'Cold Comfort' is reminding me of Tears For Fears. I listened to their 'The Hurting' LP a few weeks ago and was almost reduced to tears. That's an album packed with anguish I tell thee.There is a Volts mix of the title track which is like Radiohead doing electro-pop with more focus on the beats rather than on the syth atmospherics.This May, Hearts Of Black Science release Driverlights as the second single from their debut album The Ghost You Left Behind. Driverlights takes a leather-clad pinch of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and stirs it up with some oily 80s synth-pop sounds and ethereal vox. The result is a subtle, yet catchy wedge of organic-electronica.
Hearts Of Black Science are childhood friends Daniel Änghede (Vocals, Guitars, Bass and former vocalist of Astroqueen) and Tomas Almgren (Synths, Programming, Beats, ex-horror movie director and half of robotic electro duo Teliaroboten). In November 2005 they set up studio deep within an abandoned subterranean power plant in their home-town of Gothenburg, Sweden. The isolation of this one-time industrial cavern provided a perfect haven for them to experiment day and night. In April 2006 the band released a self financed EP that sold out in just 2 months via MySpace - a second EP was released the following month. Since then the band has been building up a devoted following touring in Sweden and the UK.
Hearts of Black Science will be back in London this month for more live shows. The band have their second BBC 6Music session coming up in May, for the Tom Robinson show, followed by a UK tour to promote the new single and album.
