Sauce

8/10

The brand new seven-track EP from The Scientists of Modern Music is everything you would expect from this great Hobart band. Very electronic, most vocals are distorted and robot-like; but this certainly does not take away from the sound at all.

Technology Illiterate is a very fast, catchy track with repeated vocals and great use of computer sounds. Also the awesome title song, Electronic Sunset, is a mostly purely musical track, which uses what sounds like an electric xylophone or something similar at around the middle of the song. Reach the point a minute from the end, and the vocals are then woven into the song.

Track two, Number One at the start has a sound somewhat like the early days of The Presets, and changes into a heavy electronic rock song at about the halfway mark. However, it still maintains the same distinctive Scientists sound for the duration.

The Easy remix, re-done by fellow electronic band, Electricramjet, appears in the last spot on the EP. It adds that little extra, different touch to the album.

The whole EP is put together so perfectly, it’s very hard to actually pick a favourite song, as they are all brilliant in their own, different ways. I recommend this EP highly and I look forward to seeing a full-length album from these amazing musicians in the near future.
