The Science
>> Oikofugic
>> Wickerman Records
The Science seem to have had a somewhat on/off history as a band, currently on hiatus pursuing no fewer than five different side projects. On this, their debut E.P, The Science play rock of the dark, brooding, atmospheric variety with hints that they could expand into more experimental areas.
The opening two songs, “Breezeblock Nightmare” and “Falling Asleep at the Wheel” have a melodic post-punk sound, with understated vocals sung in Scottish accents. Third song “Fading Out/Fading In” is the longest track here and the loosest in structure, suggesting that The Science could move into hypnotic, instrumental territory if they wanted. Oikofugic apparently means “excessive wandering”; hopefully this will refer to the band pushing back the boundaries and continuing to develop their sound, rather than wandering off never to return!

I just found this! I played kit with The Science...did we send you the e.p. to review, or did you just come across it by chance?
Anyways, the band as yet have not got back together to do anything. But it was fun reading this, I only looked at our MySpace the other day and brought memories of the recording sessions back.
Thank you -
