Brooklyn-based power pop troupe We Are Scientists have returned with a jubilant new release that comes as welcome relief amidst the doom and gloom soundtrack that seems to have permeated most aspects of our lives.

The band’s seventh album, titled ‘Megaplex’, sees the now renowned duo of Keith Murray and Chris Cain dazzle with ten brand new splashes of colourful and utterly addictive pop.

Recorded at the Tim Wheeler from Ash’s studio much of the record bears a resemblance to the aforementioned pop rockers.

It is entertaining, upbeat and classically melodic for a band that has become well-known for their energetic records.

But does mark an evolution for the band.

“In the past we’ve used our music to educate, to enlighten, to awaken people to the depth and complexity of moral concerns”, says Chris.

“This time, we really wanted to drop a fun-bomb. Something to dance or f*** to”.

With a vast pool of songs to play with, the duo set about honing down a sprawling burst of creativity to make the concise pop beast that is ‘Megaplex’.

“At this point in our career, we’ve written so many songs,” explains Keith.

“The pool for this record alone was something like 90 songs deep — that we know exactly what we want out of a We Are Scientists record.

“We want it to be taut, to bang hard, to have a big hook every four seconds or so.

“We don’t have to be precious about which songs make it onto a record; we can listen to the ones  that didn’t make it at home, on our own time. ‘Megaplex’ is just the ten most delicious songs that
we have — a stacked-up compound of entertainment.

“It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of honing of craft to make it to six records.

“I mean, the Velvet Underground never made six albums. The Smiths didn’t. Pavement, Guns N’ Roses, The Stooges — none of them could do it. So, I guess we’re just objectively better than those bands now?

“It’s just a mathematical fact, right? Van Halen made six with David Lee Roth but only four with Sammy Hagar, so I guess we’re better than Hagar-era Van Halen but only just as good as Roth-era?

“Which, saying it out loud, makes total sense, yeah.”
