We Are Scientists – Settled Accounts
We Are Scientists are singer/guitarist Keith Murray, bass player Chris Cain and drummer Keith Carne. As professional musicians, they can live off their music, but I still think they deserve a much broader audience. As their music has broadened over the years (from post-punk via indie rock to a more pop-leaning sound), I bet the trio agree. Alas, as streaming allows lovers of all kinds of niches to find music of their liking, radio has started to become more uniform, with most stations trying to reach the same listeners. Hopefully other channels, like less narrow-minded music bloggers, can help expose great bands like We Are Scientists.
The New York City-based band is currently preparing for the 20 January release of their 8th studio album Lobes. In preparation of this self-produced long-player, they released four tracks. Settled Accounts is the latest of this bunch. A song with a funky guitar throughout, and be honest, what’s not to like about that? Murray says of the tune: “Murray said: “It’s nice that things have come full-circle. Strident old Keith would have argued that funk was the one true musical genre. And here we are, with our funkiest tune yet.”
Following the album release, We Are Scientists will play a host of live shows in Europe, where their star has always shone brighter that in their home country. Don’t miss them!
Settled Accounts is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means it’ll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.

Wildcard (week 6):
We Are Scientists – One In, One Out
We Are Scientists is one of my favourite power pop duos from New York, so I was happy to read they finished their sixth studio album, the follow-up to Helter Seltzer, which contained the great single Buckle.
27 April, Keith Murray (vocals, guitar) and Chris Cain (bass) will release their next offering, Megaplex. The album was recorded with Ash singer Tim Wheeler and produced by Max Hart. The latter used to play keyboards in Katy Perry’s band, the same instrument he played in We Are Scientists before that. And talking of former band members: Razorlight’s Andy Burrows banged the drums for a couple of years.
This spring, We Are Scientists will tour extensively. End of March they start a European tour that will take them to 30 stages in two months’ time. Midway through this series of dates the album Megaplex comes out, containing ten colourful and infectious pop songs to brighten up our lives. One In, One Out is the first to be released. The most poppy single We Are Scientists put out so far, which will hopefully help them to broaden their reach.
To help them achieve this goal, One In, One Out features prominently on the Carte Blanche Music blog this week, as it’s the new Wildcard (all of which you can find in the Wildcards 2018 playlist). Enjoy!
