Reviews/Descriptions
Soft Hearted Scientists is a band that tends to be described in a psychedelic rock context. Which, I assume, is fair enough. They do have a certain psychedelic vibe to their material, but their expression isn't limited or exclusively aimed towards people with an affection for that kind of music. And I find it more than likely that they have harvested inspiration from quite a few sources that should be familiar to fans of progressive rock as well. The main basis for all their songs is a foundation relying on rhythms, acoustic guitar and lead vocals. When stripped down to the core these are the main ingredients, and I suspect the greater majority of their compositions could be performed in an able manner by a busker really.
