We Are Scientists’ latest album, “Lobes,” is a masterful display of the band’s unique brand of indie rock. From start to finish, the album is filled with catchy hooks, clever lyrics, and a musicality that is both complex and accessible.
The album opens with the upbeat and energetic “Operator Error ” which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song’s driving rhythm and catchy chorus immediately grab the listener’s attention, and the band’s signature blend of guitar, bass, and drums create a sound that is both distinctive and familiar.
One of the standout tracks on the album is “Lucky Just To Be Here” which features a pulsing bassline and a soaring chorus. The lyrics, which deal with such a troubling time, are particularly poignant and relatable. The song’s catchy melody, paired with the band’s powerful instrumentation, makes it a standout track on the album.
Another highlight on the album is “Settled Accounts,” a more introspective track that showcases the band’s ability to create a sense of atmosphere and emotion. The song’s dreamy, ethereal soundscapes, paired with the band’s emotive vocals, create a sense of longing and nostalgia that is hard to shake.
The album’s track, “Less From You” is also another earworm. The song’s driving rhythm and lush instrumentation, paired with the band’s signature vocals, create a sound that is both powerful and nuanced. The more upbeat vibe of the track written just after the conclusion of Huffy, are both thought-provoking and relatable.
Overall, “Lobes” is a strong album that showcases the band’s ability to create music that is both engaging and meaningful. The band’s unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities, paired with their clever lyrics and emotive vocals, make for a listening experience that is both enjoyable and thought-provoking.
