Chris Bailey seems to have been a singer songwriter who operated in the Vermont area with his band mates.  This private self produced album is full of catchy new wave power pop rock arrangements. There’s a cool minimal influence to the overall album – this can really be heard on synth heavy ‘Such A Blur’.  Chris mixes minimal synth and electric guitar work to great effect on ‘Shrapnel’.  Power pop melodies are in full effect with the energetic ‘Pabulum’.  ‘My Shadow’ has well crafted melodic synth stabs against emotive vocals.
