"In lockdown we’ve really enjoying playing music together, figuring out how to play some of our favourite tracks. The Flaming Lips and this song in particular has always been a massive influence on us. It was fun to take a few hours in our front room and try our own version. I encourage you to find their live version on YouTube from Summer Sonic ’09 as it’s 13 minutes and 19 seconds of ferocious bliss." - Ryan
lyrics
Two scientists are racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of them side-by-side
So determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children
Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope
Forging for the future
But to sacrifice their lives
Both of them side-by-side
So determined
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Just when I thought I heard it all, along comes this incredible work of art and musical perfection to blow me completely away! Such variety all across the synthwave spectrum and utterly unique as well! So, so much love went into this production and some of the tracks nearly brought me to tears! I recommend that everyone buy this amazing and superb album right away!!! David Rotenburger
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 9, 2022
Melodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 14, 2021
