Artist description Math and Science is the result of the fertile and over-stimulated brain of John Wolf. A mix of melodic hooks, dry, witty lyrics and computer-based multi-tracking, the debut album of Math and Science marks the arrival of a new champion for fans of classic alternative pop music.

Press Reviews An Indiana native now living in Los Angeles, John Wolf is the individual behind the Math And Science moniker. And while he may have named this project after the high school subjects at which he did most poorly, he seems to be moving in the right direction with music. Except for "Airstream On The Highway" and "Naked," a pair of bluesy, fuzzed-out tracks that come mid-album, Wolf formulates new wave-tinged love songs with guitar, keyboard and drum machine. Unfortunately, the synthesized state of the music on this self-titled debut sometimes detracts from these mild boy-tries-to-understand-girl situations. With his attractive, earnest voice (often reminiscent of Matthew Sweet), Wolf could easily do without all of the distracting keyboard gurgles and chirps. Also, lyrics this tender sound more sincere in simpler arrangements. All in all, Math And Science proves that John Wolf is one to keep an ear out for - only next time around, he might want to explore his acoustic side. - Kelso Jacks: CMJ New Music Report Issue: 700 - Feb 05, 2001
