Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masterminded by avant-garde stalwarts Stevan Tickmayer and Chris Cutler, The Science Group serves as a highly rigorous exercise in complex, angular composition. The music furiously rapidly shifts time signatures and incorporates abstract electroacoustic elements, challenging conventional rock structures entirely.
