"Scientists" by Bounce The Ocean

File this band under "day late, dollar short". Bounce The Ocean features the spectacular harmonies of Hawk Bjorn and John Utter, who were crafting delectable hooks and breezy melodies at a time when Kurt Cobain was mounting the grunge wrecking ball.

Their one and only album (self-titled) was essentially an 80s record released in the 90s. Had this come out when Wham or Breathe were scoring their hits, Bounce The Ocean might have been chart kings.

Even in the age of the Internet, it is hard to find information about this duo and their lone album. But for the curious, there was a great article/interview with the boys on Popdose by Will Harris in 2008. Read it while you listen to the heavenly sound of "Scientists".
