We Are Scientists/Paws

With TV En Francais having just been released last month, We Are Scientists is making its way to Cleveland tonight at the Grog Shop. Their new album is definitely polished to a shine, with saccharine vocals sounding as though they’ve been filtered and processed a little too much in some parts. Despite that, the songs keep a pretty good beat in the likes of “Dumb Luck,” and “Make it Easy,” while “Return the Favor” boasts a catchy refrain with a pretty, piano-accented guitar solo.
