The Scene’s Out of Sight

Self-Starter

This quartet shoots out a solid and enjoyable CD of pop songs, moving from the “rock your head and shake your hips” to the “sad, slow, missing you when you go.” Most of this album was mixed and produced by J. Robbins, who also appears on many of the tracks, moving between guitar, percussion, vocals, and the Moog, but instead of placing his sound over the sound of the band, he manages to add an extra level to the music. Sometimes catching on a Beatles mellowness, sometimes driving a bit more like The Cars, and sometimes popping like a Possum Dixon. These songs should fill up the radio and make everyone dance.
