RELEASE DATE What others are saying: "...don’t miss the musical juiciness that is Science for Girls, a Moby-style electronica compilation featuring different guest singers on nearly every track. Chilled out and heavy on processed electric pianos, this CD from New York composer Darren Solomon maintains the same balance between synthetic and organic that makes groups like Zero-7 shine." "Here's some eeenteresting indie electronica for you, from the unsigned act Science For Girls. Sounding pleasingly reminiscent of Junior Boys, the eeenteresting part turns out to be the wholly unexpected hints of Brazilian flavor that sneak in. Neat!" "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." As breaks go, it doesn’t get much better. Darren Solomon was a 19-year-old bass player studying at NYU when he returned to his dorm room one day to find a message on his answering machine from the great Ray Charles, inviting Darren to L.A. for an audition. After hearing Darren play, Ray offered him a job, and he toured with Ray for two years before leaving to finish his college degree. Later, he explored a very different side of the musical spectrum on a four-year stint with Barry Manilow. His electronica version of Manilow’s “Sweet Life” on the Science for Girls album is a warm tribute to his former employer. In the down time between tours, Darren began writing and producing original music, including scores for over 100 TV commercials. Darren received a Best Music Clio award for his music for M&M’s “Nothing Rhymes With Orange”, sung by Megan Mullally. Now with Science for Girls, Darren is combining his influences and making the kind of music he likes to make, just for the sake of making good music.
