Art vs. Science
In the few short years since their debut, Art vs Science have built a huge following, based on their live reputation and their knack for crafting a great pop song.
From winning triple j’s Unearthed in 2008 to selling out theatre shows on their recent run, the accolades continue to roll in for the electro-pop dance band. Art vs Science’s debut album The Experiment - which was released in February - debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart and was the youngest album on triple j's Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time.
The band have had a busy year, having toured all across Australia, the UK and North America. They recently supported the Chemical Brothers and pulled some of the biggest crowds on the festival circuit. Art vs Science have become festival favourites as they continue to do what they do best: bring the party to as many people as possible.
Art vs Science continue to make waves in the States, where their first EP was #12 Most Added on the CMJ Chart. ‘Not only was I completely blown away by the quality of the sound, the infectious energy of the group and their ability to pull off these songs (which at first sounded a bit bizarre to me through headphones), I was most fascinated by the sheer talent of all three musicians on a live level.’ Huffington Post.
Penguin Prison
Even if you never find out what a Penguin Prison is, there’s no denying Chris Glover aka Penguin Prison has made a brilliant record. If you’re a fan of New York disco, as accessible as it is angular, all burbling bass lines, resonant rhythms, shimmering synths and heavenly melodies, then you’ll love the new Penguin Prison album.
