Modern American Science- Where Pieces Join (Where They Fall Apart)
Modern American Science are currently unsigned but if this CD is anything to go by they won't be for much longer. The already worked with Mogwai producer Andy Miller, which can only be a sign of better things to come.
Opening track "Where Pieces Join" is an indie classic in waiting, Chris Martin will be wishing he wrote this, its beautifully played and arranged, accompanied by mournful vocal. On souvenir the vocals are perfect there isn't a wrong note, the songwriting seems really precise, obviously Darren knew exactly what he wanted to say and how he wanted to say it.
For me the stand out track is "Aim Steady Fire" it begins with the chilled acoustic vibe, then opens out with soaring vocals. All three songs are brilliant examples of sensitive rock and will get under the skin of any who appreciates the genre.
