Synopsis

Album Description

science will figure you out is the debut full-length from Soltero and the first release on Kentuckyland records. The music? One part inspiration traceable to such musicians as Yo La Tengo, Neil Young, Slint, Fugazi, Bright Eyes, Unrest, The Beatles, The Pogues, Portastatic, The Karl Hendricks Trio, The Cure; and one part that je ne sais quoi that makes the music greater than the sum of the influences. Recorded with the Mobius Band of Amherst, Mass.

CD Reviews

As with every Soltero album, this one's terrific.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an earlier Soltero album, but it's still a classic. From the guitar-line of "Memorial Drive" that slides like ice across a hot iron, to the unexpected drum machine that bursts into "The Priest," to the genius lyrics of "Communist Love Song" that compare love to Cold War politics ("If you're ever less than certain, I will be you iron curtain, I will be your Berlin Wall, and I will never fall." Man!) This album is the type you will have to eventually rebuy because, if you don't wear it out first, your friends will steal it from you. I'd bet at least one of the copies for sale on Amazon used to belong to me....

Buy this album. Buy his latest, "Hell Train." Buy everything Soltero records. (...)."
