What's The Story?
We Are Scientists are a New York-based indie rock group with a ton of personality. The tune is from their third of four studio albums, Brain Thrust Mastery.
Who's To Blame?
A friend who balances out having a hot mom with having a hideous dog.
Why ♥ It?
If you put a gun to my head and said "pick one part of the song Chick Lit by We Are Scientists that stands out above all others", I'd probably decide quickly enough not to get shot, and I can't say that about many of the songs here. The percussion during the chorus in this song is to die for; it's one of those beats that makes me want to be a drummer because it just sounds fun. The constant splashing cymbal goes with a beat that's so varied it could pass for Morse code, but still just flows.
This percussion is the basis for a chorus chock full of a driving, blaring pop/rock feel. The backing vocals add another layer that almost makes the song feel epic.
The intro and post-chorus guitar chords have sort of a swing if you bother to pay attention to them, although you can be forgiven if you don't.
Finally, the vocals and lyrics are accessible and exactly what We Are Scientists fans have come to expect. If you don't know what that implies, then this track is only the beginning.
