Scientists, known for hits The Great Escape and Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt, are back with a new album.
And the New York duo reckon their sixth album Megaplex will be a “welcome distraction to these bleak times”.
Bassist Chris Cain said: “In the past we’ve used our music to educate, to enlighten, to awaken people to the depth and complexity of moral concerns.
“This time we really wanted to drop a fun-bomb. Something to dance to!”
Singer Keith Murray added: “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
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 makes total sense, yeah.”
Megaplex is out on April 27.
