 Even though they are a relatively new band, Bon Savants have become one of Boston’s finest indie-rock bands. Their debut, Post-Rock Defends the Nation is introspective of the band’s obsession with science and technology. After all, Bon Savants actually means “good scientists” in French.
If it is not already obvious, Bon Savants are highly involved in science. In fact, lead singer Thom Moran is a part-time MIT rocket scientist, and when making music, a part-time combatant of thermodynamics. The eleven tracks of this album are not the products of an average rock band—they are the creations of highly intelligent musicians. In “Go To The Sun”, our favorite savants blend vivacious rock n’ roll with a witty plan to visit the sun. Here, Moran’s voice is echoed in a very cool, but annoying way. It sounds like he’s singing into one of those metal speakers at a children’s play ground. “Between the Moon and the Ocean” is a nice, light and slow song. It serves as the lighthearted emotional pop-escape from the other more serious songs of the album. Things get a bit more fun with “91”, a fast-paced, drum-driven indie song that is sure to take your mind off the pressing scientific concepts. The title track, “Post-Rock Defends the Nation”, is a prime example of the band’s scientific beliefs, explained on their website (www.bonsavants.com), that “Music is a yet greater rebellion against thermodynamics, complex patterns that arise from the serendipity of the human experience.” If that may be too hard to digest, try the lyrics to the song instead. Lyrics like “Revolution’s at hand/ Let’s form a rock and roll band” is really the battle cry that emanates from this album. Bon Savants are here to defy this entropic universe by creating disorder in this world of human patterns. Music is the revolution, and the Bon Savants are now a part of it. Looks great! Very useful. Good resources here. Real nice! Many thanks, Cheers!
