Art vs. Science: Who will reign victorious?

Art vs. Science: My money's on the guy with the tophat.Art vs. Science: My money's on the guy with the tophat.Art vs. Science are a group that you may not have heard of yet. Triple J has been pumping their first song Flippers for a while, which is kick-arse and heaps of fun... kind of light-weight but still totally kick-arse. When I heard Hollywood a coupla weeks ago I figured these blokes are going places. It's much more complex than Flippers but still hook-laden as all fuck. Go rate their tracks on Triple J Unearthed, join their Facebook group, expect an EP in the new year and read their very (in)sane bio:

ART.vs.SCIENCE is a psychological experiment. Songs are crafted carefully according to principles abstracted from the study of human responses to music. Each show is a test of these responses and how they differ in comparison to the manipulation of certain musical elements. Upon complete and exhaustive analysis of the relationship between artistic tools (tempo, rhythm, vocal content, video-imagery and structure) and the human response, ART.vs.SCIENCE intends to publicise its findings. Preliminary results are very encouraging, with consistently strong, positive subject reaction to certain tempos and rhythmic structures. Building upon the knowledge ART.vs.SCIENCE has already confirmed, more theories of music - once believed to be transcendental now competing with the whims of fashion - shall be slowly and surreptitiously employed, and the truths they espouse tested.

I sense a certain linearity between our two paths...
