**December 2, 2022 (NEW YORK, NY) — **New York indie juggernauts **WE ARE SCIENTISTS**
have teased more new material from their forthcoming record **_LOBES_**_ _(release
date: **January 20, 2023** _via _**Masterswan Recordings**) with their dazzling 
single “**Lucky Just To Be Here**.”** **Reducing the tempo but ratcheting the intensity,
the new track simmers before it boils, offering a contrast to the two breakneck 
tunes already released from the pair’s recently announced eighth studio album. You
can stream the track [here](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=857a39eec3&e=615f2b8493).
Starting off with a quiet bed of synth and a pulsing, heartbeat-like kick drum, “
Lucky To Just Be Here” leaves room for vocalist **Keith Murray** to indulge in nostalgic
rumination. Propulsively building to a musical crescendo, the song is catharsis 
in audio form, matching Murray’s devastating lyrics before disolving into a lonely
and isolating denouement.. It’s vintage We Are Scientists and showcases their musicality,
penchants for hooks, and creativity.

**Brooklyn Made Show Poster**

The upcoming new album follows on from their acclaimed 2021 record _HUFFY_, and 
while the origins of songs written for _Lobes _began around the same time, the impression
so far suggests they grew into an entirely different musical universe_. _The album’s
lead single “Operator Error” and follow-up “Less From You” are an exciting taste
of the fresh direction expected on _Lobes_._ _

_“_We consider _Huffy _our daytime record – it’s an upbeat rock album designed to
soundtrack jetski rides to the Bahamas and piña colada in aquamarine-tiled jacuzzis,”
says Murray. “Our new album, _Lobes_, however, is our nighttime album. Overall, 
it’s more electronic, dancier, more ominous, and way sexier than _Huffy_.”

“**Lucky To Just Be Here**” is out today, **December 2, 2022**. The band’s new album**
_Lobes _** is due out  **January 20, 2023** _via _**Masterswan Recordings**. Pre-
