Solid sounds
The front-man from Nevada Bachelors, Dear John Letters and now Dept. of Energy steps out front showcasing just how solid and prolific a songwriter he is. From gritty and overdriven, to soulful, delicate and humorous The Tree Mind manages to stay away from being too slick and overproduced. However Robb's not afraid to go heavy on the overdubs to get the lush vocals and thick guitars that are essential for any great power pop album.
