Soft Hearted Scientists: Latest album release
‘Waltz of the Weekend’ by Soft Hearted Scientists is 72 minutes of wondrous sounds from Cardiff’s wizards of psychedelia.
It’s available for streaming, download and on CD and vinyl.
Expanded edition is available here.
DEATH TO FALSE METAL
from Nathan…
Due to the possibility of incubating Covid we had to postpone a studio session on June 29.
However, that time has been put to good use home recording a brand new song called “Hooves.”
It warns:
Don’t tap your hooves / To the devil’s grooves / Or he’s going to strap a saddle on you.
He’ll ride you ragged / Til you’re old and haggard / Then he’ll boil your bones / To make his glue.
It also includes the immortal words “Death to False Metal” and “Manowar.”
Musically it’s sort of Modern Life is Rubbish meets House of the Rising Sun, and a psychedelic West End Show.
The Rock Opera beckons.
The ‘Phantom of Canton’ awaits
from Nathan…
Hard at work on the new album with singles likely in late summer/autumn 2024 and the album released in 2025. “Phantom of Canton” and “Laws of Physics” are just 2 of the contenders for singles. There will be a lot of multi sectioned epics on the album too, such as “Fly By Dragonfly” and “Trapdoor in the Sky”.
Singles compilation CDs also likely in autumn.
In the meantime we’ve dropped the price on the vinyl edition of “Waltz of the Weekend.” More here
Worth the time…
“The album is too good for me to comprehend, right now. (I’ll need a month, I think).”

INTERESTING AND QUITE HUMBLING TWEET FROM BBC RADIO WALES PRESENTER ADAM WALTON ABOUT OUR NEW ALBUM “WALTZ OF THE WEEKEND”.
I agree it takes quite a while to take in the 75 minute beast we have created. It took 600 hours to create and I’m still taking it in myself as it sprouted several new tentacles at the mixing stage and grew in front of our eyes and ears.
I’m so glad I spent so many days in Franks studio through a shitty winter in Grangetown finalising this epic. I can’t imagine a more productive use of my time and a bigger two fingers to bleakness.
Listen to Adam’s 27 May show here, where he plays “What Grows Inside the Garden?” from “Waltz of the Weekend.”
