Veteran Seattle duo the Winterlings‘ “Science” is an enjoyable, confounding mix of styles. The song combines elements of classic pop with lo fi folk, like the Shangri-Las if they were an Elephant 6 band. The simple repeated drum part is paired with harmonium, twinkling piano twiddlings and cowboy tremolo guitar chords. The production is roughly hewn – note the bass sitting way up in the mix – but the ambition and joy is palpable. Nicely done, Winterlings.

Love the bass in the song.
Hey Jon! Thanks for the review! Really appreciate your thoughtful listening! Check out our Masters if you want to hear the bass sit perfectly. We sent Ball of Wax a premaster and it came out a bit different! You may be delighted with our version. Lots of Love From Your Friends, The Winterlings
