Black Country, New Road- Science Fair (SONG REVIEW)

 Black Country, New Road might be a freshly formed band with just three singles under their belt but they
already managed to get critical recognition and for me, become one of the most exciting up-and-coming voices in post punk. Plenty of artists have been incorporating jazz elements into punk music over the years but I haven’t heard it done so creatively in a long time.

Their latest single, Science Fair gives me flashbacks to some no-wave acts, like James Chance, with it’s wall of saxophones sounding as ear piercing as humanly possible. The song earns this breakdown though, we start with the steady, almost spoken word vocals, sounding like a heavier LCD Soundsystem. Similar to their previous single, sunglasses, there’s some humor to the lyrics but most of all extreme, extreme frustration and desperation that ends with a violent explosion at the end of the track.

The fact that Black Country, New Road started out with a fully-formed and unique sound makes me really hopeful that "For The First Time" will be one of the bigger punk releases of next year. We just have to survive till february to find out . Should be easy enough.
