Three years after their catchy debut "With Love and Squalor" burrowed its way into the homes of 150,000 people worldwide, Brooklyn-based indie-rockers We Are Scientists are back.

Comprising Keith Murray (guitars/vocals) and Chris Cain (bass/vocals), this time around the duo's plan for world domination includes cowriting and starring in their own comedy series, "Brain Thrust Mastery," a pilot of which has already been completed and is sparking interest among television networks. This is also the title of their second album, which came out in March, and the show sees Cain (speaking below) and Murray play — in a deadpan fashion that would make funnyman actor Steve Coogan proud — self-help gurus running a series of seminars that help the crushingly clueless to attain self-empowerment.
