We Are Scientists announce new album Megaplex and air lead track "One In, One Out"

The Brooklyn-based duo are following up their 2016 LP Helter Seltzer with a collection of songs recorded at Atomic Heart Studios and produced with Max Hart. Jed Mitchell directs the clip for first taste "One In, One Out".

"In the past we’ve used our music to educate, to enlighten, to awaken people to the depth and complexity of moral concerns. This time, we really wanted to drop a fun-bomb. Something to dance or fuck to," says the group's Chris Cain of the album.

"It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of honing of craft to make it to six records," adds frontman Keith Murray. "I mean, the Velvet Underground never made six albums. The Smiths didn’t. Pavement, Guns N’ Roses, The Stooges - none of them could do it. So, I guess we’re just objectively better than those bands now? It’s just a mathematical fact, right? Van Halen made six with David Lee Roth but only four with Sammy Hagar, so I guess we’re better than Hagar-era Van Halen but only just as good as Roth-era? Which, saying it out loud, makes total sense, yeah."

We Are Scientists are set to play the UK this spring, with a stop at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire confirmed for 4 May. Find out the full live plans.
