Right in the middle of a worldwide tour, We Are Scientists released the third single off their latest album Barbara this week, “I Don’t Bite.” Currently it’s available on iTunes on the UK and on 7Digital.com
Seeing that the guys have been touring mainly with Rewards (ex-Chairlift Aaron Pfenning), they seemed to find the time to have Pfenning record a b-side for the single – a low-key, ethereal version of “Nice Guys.” As well as the cameo from pal Pfenning, Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Lightspeed Champion also did a oddly spectacular digitized cover version of “Rules Don’t Stop” as another b-side. The three tracks are certainly different from each other, but the single did employ some of Brooklyn’s finest, I must say.
And if that wasn’t enough, Alexa Chung actually drew the album art.
All of it is a bit inexplicable, but does anything We Are Scientists ever does make complete sense? Not really, but that’s part of their charm.
There’s no official US release date yet on an iTunes single (let alone a physical single), but once it’s announced, we’ll be sure to update this post.
