Scott Alexander - Makes Friends - CD

(Scott Alexander Music) I really had hoped this would be better. It has some great elements. Scott has a voice like Adam & His Package, is quirky and actually includes a bassoon on one track. Usually, I would call this the ingredients for a successful release. However, songs don't really gel and while some of his lyrics are quirky, they can't go the distance and become clever. As Spinal Tap said there is a fine line between clever and stupid, and these songs are quite a bit behind that line.
