The nervy Irish garage rock trio So Cow have been blasting away in dive bars worldwide for several years now, and upcoming album The Long Con seems likely to lift their profile. “Science Fiction” is a perfect example of the group’s knack for smart, snaky, sneaky-catchy punk tunes. The song sets a deadpan vocal against harmonically charged riffs and a simple drumbeat with a skip in its step. Hear it below along with jittery lead single “Barry Richardson.”

The Long Con is out 9/16 on Goner. Pre-order it here.
