Make it Easy by We Are Scientists song review

New York indie trio We Are Scientists revealed a new tune this week entitled "Make It Easy". The song is off their up and coming fifth album "TV en Francais", which is set to come out on the 3rd of March. Information aside, the band are well known for their punchy upbeat songs that really make you wanna get up and have a good time. Earlier singles "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt" and "Nice Guys" are blatant proof of this.

Anyone that has seen the band in YouTube interviews will know that they like to goof about and have fun. This kind of energy then goes into their songs and it's nice to know that the trio probably really enjoyed themselves whilst making new stuff (just picture it, it's a swell thought isn't it?). I actually recently tweeted the band via a Q&A session on Q magazine's Twitter account and I asked them: "Was making new material a fun process?", to which they replied "Not as much fun as lazing in the warm afterglow of self satisfaction that washed over us, upon completion". You've gotta love these guys!

This latest offering from the group is a four and a half minute one so it's a bit of a slow builder. Threat not though, "Make It Easy" has it's moments where it bursts into rapid guitars with bouncy vocal melodies. However, on the other side of the song you've got charming electric guitars that go from plucky to totally gorgeous. Lead vocalist Keith Murray also serves up a great main vocal melody when he sings "You make it easy, and it should be easy". If you liked any of the band's previous stuff then you'll certainly like this latest song, especially if you liked their third album "Brain Thrust Mastery", it's very reminiscent of that album indeed.

Overall this is a very pleasing sign of things to come. I have no doubts that the band will deliver a fantastic record next month and I can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. Hopefully We Are Scientists have made an album that is easy (on the ears that is). And on that terrible joke, I bid you farewell whilst slowly crawling into a dark hole so that I can feel ashamed of my awful comedy talents.

OVERALL RATING: 8/10
