With a new record label in tow,100% Records, Keith Murray and Chris Cain are giving fans the kind of songs that put them on the global map and that we’ve been missing from our playlists
It'sbeen a few years since New York-based We Are Scientists releaseda new offering. Today, there is good news. With a new record label in tow,100% Records,Keith Murray and Chris Cain are giving fans the kind of songs that put them onthe global map and that we’ve been missing from our playlists - a five-track EPentitled Business Casual , which will be released on October 14th. The duo firsthinted at an oncoming release when they put out a double A-side record in July2013, exclusively to fans through their website with the tracks “SomethingAbout You,” and “Let Me Win.”
Murray& Cain recently trekked down south to the Everglades and Miami, FL and tooka break from vacationing to film the trailer for their new EP “BusinessCasual” – PRESS HERE to catch a glimpse of them in action! The video wasdirected by Dan Monick. Business Casual illuminates the fullrange of We Are Scientists, from the big chorus of “Return the Favor”to the visceral rock track “Dumb Luck”- both songs wereproduced by Chris Coady(Beach House, Smith Westerns, Yuck) atMagic Shop in NYC. Fans of the band Berlin will be pleased tohear a smooth, pedal steel version of the classic love song, “Take MyBreath Away.” The track and “Good Answer” wererecorded at Atomic Heart in NYC withClaudius Mittendorfer (Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Interpol).
Theband has always been known for their on-stage antics and humorouspersonalities. Some have even ventured to call them “intelligent indie-pop,”after they created a 7-episode series of television shorts entitled SteveWants His Money, which aired on MTV UK.
WeAre Scientists shocked themselves and impressedmany others with their 2005 debut With Love & Squalor , whichsold over 100,000 copies in the UK, and led to a sold-out UK tour, includingtwo nights at Brixton Academy. They have since released two full lengthalbums Brain Thrust Mastery (Virgin Records, 2008) and Barbara (Masterswan Recordings, 2010). All three albums charted in the UK, with singles“After Hours,” “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt,” “The Great Escape,” “It’sa Hit” and “Chick Lit” all charting in the US/UK. They have played the Readingand Leeds main stage and Glastonbury Festivals in the UK, among otherworld-wide touring.
