Release Notes:

Second solo album from Psychodots/Raisins/The Bears
frontman and like the work of all those bands, it`s
a work of excellence, a statement of purpose from an
undisovered talent known by too few folks, including
Not Lamers. Sadly, most of the material from the
aforementioned bands is out of print(except the new
`dots release, Terminal Blvd.!). Simply, you want
something different with your daily/weekly dose of
great power pop styled music, Rob Fetters and/or
Psychodots are for you - you will be rewarded.It`s
hard to pin down what Fetters` music sounds like, as
he`s always had his own style, which may explain
part of the obscurity(and a geniune lack of desire
to do the things the music industry requires to
become varying degrees of famous). But if you had to
pin it down on demand, it`s the type of Todd
Rundgren album that he`s perfectly capable of, if
only wanted to revisit his earlier obsessions with
melodicism and populism of The Beatles.

"Wonderful. Accomplished, self-assured...it`s as if
Fetters has moved into his Sgt. Pepper period, with
warm complex production, and plenty of dark
characters with secrets."- Cincinnati Post ."At his
best here...a master at combining sharply drawn,
incisive lyrics with irresistible pop melodies -
plus the welcome addition of real heart. It`s a
winning combination." - Cincinnati Enquirer.
"`Musician" is daring, as Fetters utilizes the
studio to its fullest extent, the result a true
"headphone experience"...Ultimately Fetters most
engagingly challenging album, a refreshing, bold
move from one of Cincinnati`s finest songwriters
ever."- CityBeat. "It`s not a stretch to classify
"Musician" as a mini-masterpiece given that Fetters
plays most of the instruments himself, taps into a
deep Dylan-like muse for his songwriting, and
produces the entire thing with a confidence that
would make Rundgren proud."- D. Lockwood / Scripps
Howard. Found this quote out there on a net board,
that says it very well, too: "This disc is Tiramisu
for the ears. Extremely rich and full bodied in its
production values it still retains the tartness of
Rob`s quirky wit, head grabbing melodic themes and
-- of course -- his absolute mastery of the guitar.
If you`ve followed Rob through the Raisins,
psychodots and Bears you`re in for an evolutionary
treat with this second solo effort. Clearly the
product of a seasoned, mature musician making a
surprising and delightful artistic leap." Bottom
Line, a pure, unfettered(sic) work of a genius.
Genius is the word and experience.
