The Apples in Stereo’s lead singer and driving creative force, Robert Schneider, has invented a new musical scale.

I’m not nearly smart enough to explain it, but if you’d like to hear it, head over to yeproc.com and go to The Apples in Stereo’s page to hear samples from the group’s yet to be released CD, New Magnetic Wonder.

The Enhanced CD features a brief video of Schneider explaining his scale and how it differs from scales we are used to hearing. It has something to do Pythagoras and real vs. imaginary numbers. He calls it a “Non-Pythagorean Musical Scale.”

The end result of Schneider’s revelation is perhaps the group’s finest work to date. New Magnetic Wonder mixes short musical interludes and a host of uplifting pop gems in a way that is pleasing to the mind, body, and soul.

New Magnetic Wonder will be released on February 6th by Simian/ Yep Roc Records.
