Robert Scott – Ends Run Together (CD)

FN507 Robert Scott – Ends Run Together (2010)

The third solo album fromRobert Scott(The Clean,The Bats) is an outstanding album of 13 engaging songs, as likely to appeal to any fan of great alternative pop as much as to those already familiar with his past projects. ToRobertsguitar and voice (which has never sounded better) are added the talents of fellow Clean-erDavid Kilgour, and miraculously, evenLesley Paris(Look Blue, Go Purple) has been coaxed back onto a drumkit for some of the songs.

Jam-packed full of pop hooks,Ends Run Togetherfeatures everything from squalling guitar rock (On the Lake,Too Early), dreamy pastoral folk (Days Run Together), through to the driving krautrock-ish pop ofDaylight.

Scott does one thing and he does it well: writes beautifully crafted, folk-influenced pop songs.THREE THOUSAND

Ends Run Together takes me to places I need to check into more often. –UNDERTHERADAR

“...it is Scott’s show and again you are in awe of the breadth of his musical vision….Scott, by virtue of those pivotal bands he has been in, is a mainstay of Flying Nun so it is only right he should be back on the resurrected label. With this quiet-loud collection he’s done them and himself proud. Wonderful stuff.”
