Editorial Reviews

The New York Times, April 2005

"It's been years since Timothy Sellers, then a budding naturalist, licked a slug. Now he writes... Pixies-like guitar hooks."

www.usedwigs.com, 2005

"What if TMBG, Ween and Camper Van Beethoven broke into Robert Pollard's studio with a stack of science textbooks?"

I had this on my "to buy" list for almost a year before purchasing and boy am I glad I bought it.

If it came down to picking a favorite, Charles Robert Darwin is definitely the most catchy and is the one I usually start my listen with.

Their sound varies a lot on the album, but it just has really high production value and doesn't get bogged down by trying to be "Indie", it's just fun and semi-educational. The biggest vibe I get is a They Might Be Giants feel.

This indy-pop extravaganza is fantastically funny AND still educational.
Was Einstein really a famously bad violinist?
This is a brilliant idea and the songs are catchy>>
the scientists are from a range of disciplines, contries, time periods.

I actually learned some facts I now repeat to anyone who will listen to me. The lyrics are smart and funny, but turn off your inner mr wizard and the music will overtake you.
