Russ 'nephew of Ray' Davies dons the Cinnamon Chasers alias again for a second full-length of synth-heavy dancefloor groovery. Perhaps wisely considering the album format, Science explores poppier pastures than many of his previous single outings (notably sleeper hit "The Bomb"). Unashamedly melodic, heavy on FX-laden vocals (think auto tune and/or vocoder) and rippling with radio-friendly synth riffs, it sounds like a hipster-matic fusion of Aeroplane, Friendly Fires, Kris Mencace and Alain Braxe, with a dash of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre thrown in. While those who loved "The Bomb" may struggle to connect, the bittersweet melodies and sparkling synths are certainly hard to resist.
