Easy to see why Seattle duo Scott Johnson and Ben Carson have nailed song placements already. They put together attractive, commercial-sounding songs with savvy arrangements and, best of all, each tune is delivered by a voice that is ideal for the band’s sound. “All Night” is a good example, with its sultry, sexy mood and lead voice that emits an undercurrent of urgency. “Dine In” has interesting, relatable lyrics (including an LSD trip) and a catchy chorus about commiting to a budding love relationship. (Its chorus could have been a bit bigger?) ”Hotel Room” shows that this duo excels at songs about liaisons and relationship issues. Each recording is tight, contained, never overproduced. Just right.
