Album Notes

Produced by Neilson Hubbard and featuring guest appearances by Garrison Starr, Ross Rice and former members of Big Star, among others, Another Vivid Scene soars higher than crash into june's debut CD (1999's From Blind to Blue, which MOJO magazine called "a highly impressive debut") and evokes a far broader, decidedly more mature range of emotions.

From the edgy, sarcastic tirade "Adorable" ("Check your head, it must be clouded / Do you know how bad it sounded / You're so vain and, oh, so horrible") to the pensive lament "Read Me Wrong" ("Take me back to yesterday when I didn't know your name/ Those were better days"), Another Vivid Scene positions crash into june as the next band to emerge from a garage in midtown Memphis onto the national scene.

From pulsing rockers like "Breakthrough," "Fairmountebank" and "My Beautiful Trainwreck" to the Britpop leanings of "Never on Your Side," Another Vivid Scene treats you to 11 radio-ready singles fit for fast driving or a night out with friends.

But, it's not background music-it demands to be heard, to be the evening's soundtrack.

And "the industry" has been listening.

Between albums, crash into june appeared on compilations alongside Counting Crows, Jason Falkner and Superdrag and performed at music festivals from Los Angeles to Chicago to Chapel Hill while racking up rave reviews from music 'zines both here and abroad.

Another Vivid Scene was recorded at Memphis' famed Easley-McCain Recording (White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Jeff Buckley, et al), and features guest performances by studio namesake Doug Easley, Ross Rice (ex-Human Radio), Garrison Starr, John Lightman (ex-Big Star), Richard Rosebrough (ex-Big Star), Jared Rawlinson (Dora) and producer Neilson Hubbard.

The album was engineered by Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Jets to Brazil, Promise Ring) and mixed by Clay Jones (Counting Crows, Garrison Starr, Buddy Guy).

Another Vivid Scene is released by indie label Craven Hill Records, in association with Madeline Records (Dora, Leroy Star).
