Sounds Like: 'Plymouths Scientist The Orange Pip continue on their quest to bleed their post-rock angles and jangles into as many cracks and avenues as possible with the release of new download single 'Deplore The Door'. Maybe not as immediate as last years 'Horresco Referens', both songs here - 'Absence is Bliss' and 'La Foret De Sevres' - are still a gentle riot of too-many-great-ideas tripping over themselves, traversing from Pavement-esque melancholy to polite math-pop and back again at leisure, with enough melodies to appease the pop orthodoxy. It's not for nothing that 247 have consistently tipped The Orange Pip for great things, and with the likes of Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens singing the band's praises, it looks like their hard work and honed talent is paying off. ' - 247 Magazine'From the staccato opening chops of 'Bike Love Love Me' to the beautifully uplifting pop of 'Proof of Propensity' it's clear that Plymouth's Scientist The Orange Pip are a cut above the rest. With a musical wit and intelligence that current indie bands like The Wombats and Pigeon Detectives can only dream of, this is glorious, intelligent and experimental emo-pop at it's very best!' - GO2 Magazine'Putting the mental into experimental' - The Evening Herald'Plymouth 4 piece ’Scientist The Orange Pip’ have come along way since they first started out, under the name ‘Kiss And Tell’ and it has definitely been time well spent. The band have definitely honed their sound and this new single titled ‘Deplore The Door’ is a stunning example of what the band are about. First track ‘Absence is bliss’ is catchy as hell, with its interesting melody’s and harmonies mixed in with even more interesting rhythmic breaks, it darts around the headphones. I dare anyone to try and listen to this song without being left with a smile on their face. Next up is ‘La Foret De Serve’ which starts off with a call and response type idea, bouncing from ear to ear, before coming in with the catchy and super-happy verse. The band experiment with each separate section of the song, going from rhythmic breaks to, simple but affective rock sections, then back into melodically beautiful verses, before going into a punky middle8. The song is extremely well crafted, and definitely one that will have you singing along to the ‘Give Me Time In Your Life’ section. Scientist The Orange Pip are definitely not a band to be written off as just another indie band, or however you want to categorise them. Their songs are beautifully crafted and extremely catchy. Make sure you check these guys out. They’re not one to be missed!' - Hometown Sounds'...Scientist The Orange Pip kicked the gig off in fine style and did a great job of warming up the crowd with their psychedelic rocky tunes and pumped up, almost arthouse, rhythms...'
