LOZEN - EYE TO EYE

2006

Lozen's first release, and first of two unofficial releases, predating their two official releases. And counting they're currently working on a new record, that'll be five releases, three official. Okay? Okay.

If you don't know who Lozen are, you really ought to.

Hozoji Matheson-Margullis and Justine Maria Valdez are Tacoma, Washington's Lozen, bass (and a bit of gee-tar) and drums duo whose intricate songcraft and lumbering heaviness combine to create a sound that is beautiful and devastating, and often at the same time. Taking their name from the Apache warrior and prophet who was apparently blessed with a sort of ESP which she used to determine the exact location of her enemies, Lozen are melodic and noisy, subtle and brutal. Great stuff. Comprised of extremes and cohesive at once. If you like "good" music then you'll like this. And, if you like this, check out Helms Alee, of which Matheson-Margullis and Valdez comprise two thirds of.

And mind you, keep an eye out and an ear to the ground for that new record; methinks it's going to be a doozy.

Lozen - Eye to Eye

THE CATHETERS - PEEL SESSION JULY 10, 2002

2002

did you spend your new year's eve running around your neighborhood drunk on nyQuil and setting off fireworks and randomly screaming out "never make eye contact with god's testicles!" and challenging neighborhood dogs to barking contests while wearing only a thin layer of vegetable oil and a pair of mismatched argyle socks?

now your evening has a soundtrack
