Comment: Similarly to Nemo Asakura`s older EP reviewed yesterday this album of 9 tracks takes on a pile of sparse instrumentation to conjure up simple yet promptly convincing artistic songs. However, the Brooklynites Cory Siegler and Marc Merza seem to be self-assured in their doings. Merza`s simple yet punctuated guitar strums are up here to create a decent background for Siegler`s sensitive singing manner which respectively is either seemingly disillusioned or hopeful in dreams. Some songs are embellished with ukulele banging (My Bag is Not The Floor Why Isn`t Yours?) and vanguard-ish organ droning gest (Sender), and musique concrète-drenched (Conair Ocean Waves - what a sort of expressive name for one of those upcoming bands in future). All in all, Lizard Kisses, one of the best nowadays musical groups has tremendously been underrated so far. For instance, listen to Sleep Talkin` which makes your soul and heart bleeding.
