After the all-instrumental album Underwater Waltz Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist and singer Scott Gagner stepped up to the mike again for a sparkling collection of power pop infused songs. His new album Sweet Tooth will see the light of day on July 28th, but lead single Sugar Rush is a good indication of what's in store.
The horrors of the ICE siege of his place of residence could have inspired him to write dark material, but he went to the opposite direction, going for an optimistic outlook of life and sets his sails for a future where the shootings and beatings are just a bad memory. He plugged in his 12-string as his weapon of choice and let rip in a joyous, irresistible way: "Sugar Rush, I’m bouncing off the walls / Somebody clear my calendar and hold my calls / It’s running all around my body, coursing through my veins / I even got sugar for brains / Sugar Rush, I’m howling at the moon".
