Zoned Out

Description

Matt Scottoline singer, songwriter, and leader of Philadelphias finest indie rock band, HURRY is a worrier. Its understandable; were living in anxious times, with the world changing so quickly its hard to keep Matt, though, those anxieties hit closer to home this time: impending fatherhood, a milestone birthday on the horizon, and lingering questions about his place in the musical landscape. Does the world really need a new Hurry album?Judging by the ten songs that make up Zoned Out Hurrys sixth full-length and fourth for Lame-O Records the answer is a resounding at The Metal Shop by Ian Farmer and co-produced by Farmer and Scottoline, the album finds Hurry operating at full strength. Backed once again by Rob DeCarolis on drums, Joe DeCarolis on bass, and Justin Fox on guitar, the band sounds tighter than ever so in sync it all feels the opening track, All Sunk In, with its chugging electric guitars and earworm melody, the tone is set immediately. The amps are louder, the groove carries a confident swagger, and Matts voice sounds better than After You, the albums standout, sounds like the best song Teenage Fanclub never recorded which makes the guest vocal from Gerard Love all the more perfect. Its timeless pop music made for these times.
