-----“ISOTOPES” is the solo debut from RUSTY SQUEEZEBOX, perhaps better known as the co - founding singer/songwriter/guitarist (along with Mike Randle) of BABY LEMONADE, one of LA’s favorite bands. Following 1998’s critically acclaimed ”EXPLORING MUSIC”, Rusty and Mike, the two main creative forces behind Baby Lemonade, each decided to explore some music on their own. For “ISOTOPES”, Rusty chose to work again with NICK WALUSKO (Wondermints), who also co - produced “Exploring Music”- but anyone looking for “Exploring Music II” is in for a surprise - and a pleasant one at that! Sure, the songs are just as well crafted and melodic, but “ISOTOPES” goes for a more intimate, acoustic ambience, creating something in a mellower mood than the usual buzzing brilliance of Baby Lemonade.That’s not to say that there isn’t a large amount of great hooks and sing - along choruses (there are), but the proceedings have been toned down just a hair, showing us the softer side of Squeezebox, so to speak, on tunes like the smooth opener “Same Old Song” and breathtaking “Little Century”.But “ISOTOPES” is by no means an “Unplugged” effort - from the sophisticated synth - slacker groove of the first single “Better World” to the ethereally spaced out cover of Neil Young’s “Expecting to Fly” to the upbeat jangler “Lights Out”, the album satisfies on every level - artistically, musically and emotionally.

-----With contributions from his fellow bandmates as well as some of LA’s pop cogniscenti (Walusko, Lisa Jenio of Candypants, Danny Moynahan of The Untouchables, Dramarama’s Chris Carter and pedal steel virtuoso Russ Blake), RUSTY SQUEEZEBOX has come up with a dazzling, collection of beautiful sounds.
