. . . a very talented band. Though the trio won't flip your wig in a traditional rock sense--especially if you're of the impatient chat-and-swill-booze variety of showgoer-the band has musicianship to burn, and a few killer songs to boot. Well suited to perform with Hypatia Lake, The Sweet [Dead] Science makes slow-cooking, mathy atmospherics on standup bass, drums, and guitar. Two of the players sing, and both have lovely voices. As with any rock band, there are also grand moments where the trio ratchets up the intensity and truly rocks out. But those moments are rare, and never cheap. Which is what you should expect from a group of musicians' musicians." JEFF DeROCHE, The Stranger
