A collection of well crafted songs that fuse an unusual melodic style with emotionally charged music. Giagantic music that swells and soars.

Editorial review

After spending the 1990s as a producer and sound designer for other artists, singer/songwriter Scott Cresswell at last stepped out on his own for 2004's Souvenirs & Photographs. Not surprisingly, the album benefits from a clean, technically solid production. What it lacks is a degree of passion equal to its craft. The haunting, compelling refrains of opening tracks "Wide Awake and Dreaming" and "White Roses" are marvelous examples of sophisticated adult alternative rock. But many of the other songs are safe, unchallenging works that fade easily from memory. Cresswell knows better than to rock out to a credibility-straining degree, but only "On Our Way," which could pass for a great lost Hoodoo Gurus track, works among the uptempo numbers. He's far better on the elegiac "Doubt," a better Brit-rock power ballad than most Brit-rock bands realized during this period. Musically solid and lyrically smart, Souvenirs & Photographs is a warm and comforting listen, but its unmemorable vocals and occasional lethargy keep it from being essential. ~ Joseph McCombs, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

NY indie artist Scott Cresswell releases his 1st solo effort: Souvenirs & Photographs, August 2004.

Scott Cresswell's new release Souvenirs & Photographs is a collection of well craftedpop songs that

range from melodic guitar driven rock to heartfelt introspective ballads, never leaving the

listener bored, yet still maintaining an identifiable and unique quality. The songs are interpreted in a

colorful yet honest way. There are no album cuts, all are radio ready hits, yet the collection stands as a

consistent and meaningful body of music. Love, family, rejection, obsession, lonliness, fear, hopes and dreams;

all can be heard within the words and felt within the music on this CD.

While not a newcomer to the business, this is Scott's first solo venture. Scott payed his dues in the clubs bars

New York. He became disenchanted with the business of being in a band, and altogether being in the business.

Scott took a sabatical to collect himself, his thoughts and inspiration.
