"The Kinetiks new album "Science is Magic" is a bricoleurâs rock and roll manifesto.

Recorded and mixed by Stuart Sullivan (of Meat Puppets fame), these eight tracks are a carnival-ride fusion of disco, '80s pop-punk, darker '90s themes. It's a fun, synth-filled distortion fest that channels a Pixies-esque modulation between loud and soft, invitation and rejection. The melodies are as contagiously idiosyncratic as the music is straightforward â everything centers on Spencer Goertz-Giffenâs range of vivid vocal personas and penetrating electric guitar work.

The first track, âPlanet Future,â begins with a call-to-arms dialogue between bassist Phil Gratz and drummer Jason Kniep. Like a giant apocalyptic machine coming to life, âPlanet Futureâ builds quickly, climbing fifths until, at once, Goertz-Giffenâs heavily punctuated guitar pokes through, driving the song down â as if being dropped from a plane â and tangles all the way to earth with Rani Waughâs soaring psychedelic synth lines.

Another highlight, âDig a Hole,â combines wall-of-sound guitars with a sampling of '70s disco drum loops, expertly elaborated on by Kniep, as well as bass leads from Gratz, who kicks off the track with a promise of straightforward, naked velocity â music as time. Like many songs on this album, âDigâ demonstrates a deft sampling of decades, styles, and motifs. It snaps back and forth from syncopated disco moments dominated by Waughâs synth work to sparse '80s pop-punk instrumentation and Goertz-Giffenâs laser-like vocals.

More than any of their previous recordings, this album taps into The Kinetiksâ distinctive live-show energy."
