Wolf & Cub – Science & Sorcery
Wolf & Cub, interesting name for a very interesting band. While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly which musical category this band fits into, alternative is definitely the best word to describe Wolf & Cub. Their new alternative album, Science & Sorcery is a great mix of music for people who really love rhythms
Throughout Science & Sorcery, Wolf & Cub plays with different sounds often giving them a psychedelic, tribal, techno, groovy, or rock n’ roll feel. Most of the songs combine some of these elements in a seemingly unnoticeable, but brilliant manner that really just makes you want to listen to the songs over and over again. While I like a good beat, at heart I’m a writer. So, good lyrics will get every time over a killer beat. But surprisingly, I often found myself getting lost in the rhythms of the songs on Science & Sorcery to the point of completely ignoring the lyrics. I honestly don’t remember the majority of the lyrics. They could be singing about burning the rainforest for all I know. But the tribal beats and funky sounds—the mixture of the psychedelic 60s with the futuristic millennium—resonated in my head for hours and hours. Rather than badly singing the lyrics, as I usually do, I found myself humming and tapping out the rhythm of the music. And after I finished listening to Science & Sorcery, it struck me that the reason I was so engrossed in this powerful music was the same reason I love great lyrics—the sheer beauty and art of it.
The musical composition of this album is a wonderfully artistic blend of splendor that just makes you want to tell everyone about it. You want everyone to love it as much as you do, and understand it they way you do. It’s worth your time.
