With their new album Science Of Signs, STEREOVERVE tread a meaningful path, already apparent when looking at the cover: The Rorschach test - an early psychological method to examine a person's personality - as a basic idea and leitmotif. It marks the perfect visualization for the next step of a band whose members come from a scientific background as far as their studies and jobs are concerned but nevertheless do not write flamboyant and complicated music. In fact, Science Of Signs rather sounds like a simpatico hybrid of Incubus, Foo Fighters and Editors, accompanied by parallels to Kings Of Leon and Dredg.

This is especially obvious in the remarkable melodies flowing through the album and serving a wide range of emotions, no matter if straightforward ("Staring Eyes"), romantic ("Satellites"), striking ("Break Even"), cool and groovy ("Off The Track"), Shoegazer-like ("Brickwalling") or seducing ("Tango"). "It was very important to us to play all songs live in the studio to make them sound as authentic as possible," Robert explains. "In addition, we're extremely proud of the fact that Science Of Signs has been 100% self-financed! There's no label, no sponsorship, no funding." Impressive if you think of the exquisite quality of both composition and production. "And we've only just begun, and it's just a little taste of what may come," Klembas sings in the opener "The Shape Of Things To Come." A promise raising high expectations.
