Silver Scooter

As told by Peekaboo Records, with some updates: Silver Scooter began in the late '90s as a deceptively simple pop trio with the uncanny ability to hit as many emotional chords as musical ones. With their third full-length, 2001's The Blue Law, the band evolved into a sophisticated pop quartet that hit those chords with an articulate precision, using the studio to silken, not slicken, a tasteful sound that was already tight, controlled and, in many ways, perfect. However, beneath the studied polish of their latest record breathes a beast.
