Qualifying Miles (1LP Molten Candle Vinyl)

In an industry where bands routinely burst onto the scene with meteoric intensity only to fade just as quickly, We Are Scientists have quietly crafted one of alternative rock's most remarkable sustained careers. For over two decades, the New York-based outfit — comprising founding members Keith Murray and Chris Cain — has consistently delivered sharp, infectious indie rock, maintaining the rare ability to evolve without losing their essential DNA.

Now, with their ninth studio album, Qualifying Miles, the band continues to defy expectations, this time by looking back even as they push forward.
