New Sheets Review
For New Sheets, Possum Dixon snagged the talented production hand of Ric Ocasek, former lead singer of the Cars. Ironically (or maybe not), the disc bears a strong sonic resemblance to both the Cars and the Ocasek-produced debut from Weezer. The crunchy new-wave sound pans out well for Possum Dixon--after their first couple of so-so releases, they finally seem to be getting the hang of crafting smart rock & roll. The first few tracks are a bit soggy, but lookout around track 6, when "Always Engines" kicks in. It's here that Possum Dixon truly begin to hit their stride; even though they seem to be doing the same old "songs about girls and what they do to us guys" that every other alterna-band is doing, there's plenty of aural ballast to keep the songs on New Sheets playing in your head for days at a time. --Jason Josephes Read more...
