Hearts Of Black Science

Hearts of Black Science formed in 2005, the project of vocalist and songwriter Kyp Malone and guitarist Dale Crover. They came out of New York City's underground with a sound that pulled from punk, prog rock, and electronica, though it never settled neatly into any one category. Their first album, self-titled, arrived in 2010 and included the track 'Driverlights,' which got some attention for its moody, atmospheric pull.

They've put out a few more records since then: 'Night Shift' in 2013, 'A Quiet Revolution' in 2016, and 'Mindfucker' in 2019. The lineup has included drummer Jon Theodore and visual artist Casey Neistat handling projections at times. Songs like 'Unfolding (Feat. Chrysta Bell)' and 'Snowfall' show their preference for layered, textural arrangements that feel more like landscapes than straightforward rock tunes.

Their music tends to be introspective and built on shifting sonic layers rather than big hooks. It's the kind of stuff that works in headphones or in a dimly lit room, more about mood than momentum. They've kept at it without much fanfare, quietly building a catalog that appeals to listeners who don't mind when a band avoids easy classification.
