notes
Science for Girls is melodic electronica with roots in jazz and Brazillian music, from producer and songwriter Darren Solomon. The debut album features an eclectic group of guest vocalists from NYC's indie music scene.
"The music is transcendental, and the vocals are simply seductive." -Flagpole
4 stars out of 5 - Remix Magazine
Top Tune of the Day - KCRW
"I’m absolutely addicted to Science for Girls, the self-titled debut from producer/songwriter Darren Solomon."
-Abby White, Performing Songwriter Magazine
"...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."
-Keyboard Magazine
"...a perfect album for late at night when all you want to do is stop time and stay up listening to your iPod just a little while longer."
-Emory Wheel
"Mmmmm…sweet sweet electronic goodness"
-Bon Ton
"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."
-Knobtweakers
"...an intoxicating effort buoyed by guest vocalists from the New York indie scene."
-The State
"Science for Girls is NYC producer and songwriter Darren Solomon, and his album is like a surprise wake up by a beautiful woman, who hasn't driven you crazy yet."
-Parasites & Sycophants
"Science for girls is making me cry sweet sorrowful sugarwater in a secret swimming pool in the basement of a cute, and apparently odd girl. It's so good i almost don't want to listen to it, avoiding the inevitable tarnish."
-Comment on Comfort Radio

Touched from within
author: Wilson LeeI first heard of SFG,"sweet life" from an Internet radio, immediately I felt goose-bumps running through my skin. I felt that there should be more songs like this coming from SFG. I've always been a fan of Electronica, but this album, I have to say its like sensual meets touches the soul meets taste, etc. Brilliant. Best electronic album I have bought so far!
All day listening
author: Brian Michael MurphyThe world needs more music like this--brilliant, poetic, and tasteful. I can't count how many days I've listened to one or two tracks from this disc and nothing else! A few of these are so soulful, they simply never get old. Why are you still reading this? Buy it!
Sublime..exquisite..
author: Judith VaughanWords that come to mind when I listen to this very stylish album. I'm really enjoying it every time I play it. I bought it after hearing my 16 year old daughter play hers- she wouldn't let me borrow hers so I had to get my own!!! I'm proud of her good taste...
Brings a warm feeling to the heart!
author: Bryan HollambyThis is an absolutely excellent first album - each piece is a gem in its own right, warming and great chill at the same time. Sonnet 96 (my personal favourite) is a marvellous rendition of Shakespeare's sonnet of the same name, a rendition I feel Shakespeare would have thoroughly approved of!! All in all, this album is a real find, and would sit proudly in any discerning music lover's collection.
So Fresh!
author: BeeBotI listen to the album everyday. It is so fresh and timeless. Chill out music with jazzy pop vocals that is so refreshing. This album puts me in a good mood. I cannot recommend it enough! I love it, so will you. The world needs more music like this.
Science for Girls
author: Carlos BecaThis is such a great CD. I loved it and it is great quality. 14 days is a beautiful song.
- author: Jonny Williams
Very nice album; chilled but not too down tempo. Some are even danceable to! Love the harmonies on '14 days' and good to have a few male vocals in this genre of music for a change!
