Track three on Moonlight Beach, Scoobert’s cover of King Harvest’s “Dancing in the Moonlight,” retitled “(Beach)” to tie the song to Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas. The DistroKid credit pane lists music and lyrics as Sherman Kelly. Producer, mixing, recording, drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, and singing are billed as Scoobert Doobert. Riley Knapp mastered it. The album essay treats covers as part of the record’s social, hang-out surface: less solipsistic bedroom pop, more “come outside.”
