It's Just That Simple (bonus track)The rock n' roll event of 2020. 10 new songs. Provocative lyrics. Erik Ritland like you've never heard him before.The musically diverse album includes atmospheric indie rock, Beatle-esque pop/rock, plaintive acoustic folk rock, riffy punk, and country-tinged Americana.Praise for A Scientific Search:"The perfect soundtrack for the madness that is 2020 - there's an intriguing mix of hope and despondency on this album, punctuated by aching guitars and thoughtful lyrics... full of rousing rockers (such as, ironically, "Rock N Roll is Dead") alongside contemplative/introspective gems like "First Things Last"...there is a LOT of real substance and honesty here to dig into, and you would be well-advised to check it out for yourself. You might just discover that Erik Ritland is one of your favorite new singer-songwriters."- Dan Israel, award winning songwriter"The songs are catchy and smart, making you tap your toe and bob your head. They leave you feeling smarter and more informed when the song is over, the lyrics resonating as does the beat. A wonderful work of art."- Mike Coenen, author of Apocalypse of Marlon Brando
