MH-233 Scientific American - Strong For The Future  After a string of successful production projects, Scientific American presents his Mush Records debut, Strong For The Future. Featuring ten tracks that capitalize on the fresh sounds and dynamic production of IDM without sacrificing the music's soul, the album mixes elements of electronic dance music, hip-hop, and rock into a single hybrid. With beautiful electronic compositions that could fit neatly on The Leaf Label ("Strong for the Future"), chop and paste hip-hop influenced productions reminiscent of music on Warp ("Between Urban Movements"), or classic vocal tracks that sound like the Flaming Lips produced by Boards Of Canada ("Drift in Place" which features vocals by John Atkins of 764-Hero), Scientific American has created an album that will surely be recognized as one the most expertly produced releases in the Mush catalog. |

| Today, in honor of the coldest day to hit New York this winter, you get some warm, organic electronica from Andrew Rohrmann whose music may be vaguely familiar from its placement in commercials by Volkswagen, HP and Discover. What makes his new record special however is its mix of indie and electronic aesthetics, and as a former member of the band Hush Harbor and remixer of Modest Mouse, 764-Hero, and Red Stars Theory, you know that Rohrmann's tracks will resemble a certain atmospheric pop appeal indicative of the Seattle underground of the mid to late 90s. Experimental moments balance nicely with poppier yet less salient ones, but this is nonetheless an assured release and the best in a series of electronic records put out by Mush (Bibio, Her Space Holiday Remixes) that shows the changing face of that underground hip-hop factory. - Scissorkick |
