New Sheets

New Sheets is the third and final studio album by the American alternative rock band Possum Dixon. It was released in 1998 on Interscope Records. Many of the songs were co-written by outside musicians, including Jane Wiedlin, Fred Schneider, Dave Stewart, and producer Ric Ocasek.

Critical reception
Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote that "Ric Ocasek's production stamp is all over New Sheets—it sounds as much like The Cars as any outside project he's produced—which only adds to its glossy appeal." Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post called the album "typical of song-doctored mainstream-rock albums: reliably crafted and uniformly melodic, but a little anonymous." Mark Woodlief of CMJ New Music Monthly wrote, "Rich in '80s-era sheen, New Sheets is mostly crisp and studied in the detached-cool manner Ocasek made popular in his heyday."
