/Electronic pop, Sampledelic, Plunderphonics, Cut and paste, Sound collage, Crossover/

Comment
: Twizzle, a Seattle-based duo (Sir Mildred Pitt; Spacecake) had issued their debut 4-piece composition on the legendary Comfort Stand label in 2003. The issue is spectacular because of involving the elements of a diverse array of styles and genres, taking on chanson, art pop, downbeat, electronic pop,ethnic-tinged endeavours, crossover, however, all of that is made up of cut and paste/plunderphonics aesthetics. Piano-based careless tickles are represented there along with captivating orchestrations which will dominate in the senses of the listener. Especially outstanding is Black Elk Mountain which includes Bond-esque orchestration snippets and murky trip-hop-soaked vocals and paces. The more you listen to it the more it gets captivate you. The duo`s aesthetics can be compared with the likes of People Like Us, Pogo, Ergo Phizmiz, and Chenard Walcker.
