VINYL FORMAT. Seattle-based band The Dead Science have created a majestic, ornate and soaring collection of post-punk avant-pop on this, their fourth full-length record. Villainaire is a brilliant song cycle driven by layers of Sam Mickens' vibrato-laden voice, dark lyricism and sterling guitar work. Bassist Jherek Bischoff and drummer Nick Tamburro anchor the tunes with endlessly inventive polyrhythmic suppleness. Together the trio unleash a truly unique sound, intensely literate in both word and sound, with a controlled and commanding fury. The songs on Villainaire range from epic orchestral pop to sinister jazz-rock to weary, soul-bleached balladry.
