Science Fair is an album by Emm Gryner, released in 1999 on Gryner's independent label Dead Daisy Records.[3][4]

Within just two months of its release, Science Fair had significantly outsold its major label predecessor, Public, despite its more limited independent label distribution and marketing budget.[citation needed]

Production[edit]

The album was recorded by Gryner in Ontario and Los Angeles, on an 8-track recorder.[5][2]

Critical reception[edit]

Exclaim! wrote: "Recalling such unhip icons as Fleetwood Mac and Carole King, as well as more contemporary sounds of Sarah McLachlan, Science Fair sees Gryner on the verge of a breakthrough, in terms of developing her own voice."[6]

AllMusic wrote that the album "has substance and succeeds in every way by relying on beautiful melodies, skillful musicianship, and the heartfelt performances of a remarkably gifted young artist."[1]
