Of God and Science: The Soft Edges of Music

Music Friday

A thriving member of Albuquerque’s Detach Records scene, Of God and Science states that they are “an independent rock band who's goal it is to imagine, create, and appreciate music that can be used for spiritual, sexual, personal, intimate, selfish, experimental, weird, freaked out or whatever reasons.” Alrighty. I’ll go along with that.

I would also add that their music is rich and soft and tends to fill the room with acoustic guitars and swelling organs. Sort of like the abstract soundtrack to a fanciful children’s film. Click here to listen to Lesson In Decay.
