Matt Scottoline is an unashamed Teenage Fanclub stan, so much so that he's named their previous album 'Don't Look Back' after the Gerard Love penned song and now for the ultimate tie-in Gerry features on single 'Moving After You' and it's the kind of pure jangle pop delight you can only get from source. Of course Hurry alone are masters themselves of deliciously fizzy power pop and exquisite jangly melodies and punk edge.
Matt Scottoline - singer, songwriter, and leader of Philadelphia's finest indie rock band, HURRY - is a worrier. It's understandable; we're living in anxious times,
with the world changing so quickly it's hard to keep up.For 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 - Hurry's sixth full-length and fourth for Lame-O Records - the answer is a resounding yes.Recorded 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 effortless.From 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 Matt's voice
sounds better than ever.'Moving After You,' the album's standout, sounds like the best song Teenage Fanclub never recorded - which makes the guest vocal
from Gerard Love all the more perfect. It's timeless pop music made for these times.
