We
Are Scientists
Crap Attack
We
Are Scientists release a collection of rarities and b-sides. It’s
pretty brave to name an album Crap Attack, making it an easy target
for critics if the album turns out to be a complete flop.
However, that’s not an issue, as the New York indie-rockers
have avoided any cheap shots with this release, and won’t
leave fans disappointed.
The trio confirm their status as one of the most exciting bands
to come out of the Big Apple in recent years with new tracks and
remixes, along side some inspiring covers including versions of
Art Brut’s ‘Bang Bang Rock & Roll’ and most
notably, Sigur Ros’ ‘Hoppipolla’.
The guitar work on ‘Hoppipolla’ shows a completely
different side to the band, them providing an intelligent and
creative performance. Their credibility is boosted with their
cover of this complex track.
All in all this is an extremely rewarding listen and will no doubt
help We Are Scientists to earn themselves the increased fan base
that they deserve.
