About Me

"Hearing how different talents mesh with Darren Solomon's mellow chords and laid-back production style is a bit like biting into a mystery chocolate. Whether you're met by creamy, lilting vocals, crunchy pitch-shifting plugins, or rich caramel tones, the one thing you can count on is that you'll want more."
-Knobtweakers
"Science for Girls is NYC producer and songwriter Darren Solomon, and his album is like a surprise wake up by a beautiful woman, who hasn't driven you crazy yet."
-Parasites & Sycophants
"Science for girls is making me cry sweet sorrowful sugarwater in a secret swimming pool in the basement of a cute, and apparently odd girl. It's so good i almost don't want to listen to it, avoiding the inevitable tarnish."
