With Love And Squalor
On the radio smash “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt”, We Are Scientists announce “If you wanna use my body/ go for it”. That’s exactly what we were thinking, and it’s not the only song that demonstrates the Scientists’ brilliant intuition.
The rest of the album, out since 2005, is a little bit cleverer than rock is becoming, and way more fun than the post-punk-neo-new-wave that we hear is popular amongst today’s youth. Tracks like “It’s a Hit” and “Worth the Wait” are hits worth the wait (even if they occasionally sound a little bit too Franz, and we don’t mean Kafka). And “Can’t Lose” shows that the boys can occasionally take things marginally downtempo.
Fast enough to dance to, but cool enough to not look daggy while you’re doing it, With Love and Squalor is the crooning soundtrack to the indie party we’re too shy to attend.
