Art vs. Science

They've released a self-titled EP, and it's great.

My favourite track is the awesome 'Parlez vous francais?' (a song full of both English and French lyrics, the French ones basically saying 'If you speak French take your clothes off') but 'Flippers' is a great tune, too - with the repeated melodic yelling of the lyrics, "Hey! Ho! Use your flippers to get down!"

Here's a quote about the band from Triple J Unearthed, which I completely agree with:

There is a reason why night clubs play the music they do: it's the right tempo for dancing, it's got hook lines you can sing along to, and a beat steady enough hypnotise. Art vs. Science not only makes the sort of music played in nightclubs; it is one of the few outfits in Australia which can actually play in night clubs - live. No laptops, no backing tracks, just drums, keyboards, synths and three sets of funky hands. "An expression of their long immersion in the dark, seedy recesses of club-electronica", Art vs Science breathe fresh air into the genre, with an immediate, breath-taking live show, and songs that sound pleasing, joy-inducing; as if meticulously designed, element by element, to intensify user stimulation.

If they're touring in Melbourne, I'll be there in a heartbeat.
