Dizzy Daze Glitchy Masterpiece CD
Glitchy Masterpiece, the debut full-length from Tokyo’s DIZZY DAZE, mixes five new tracks with five remixed or re-recorded favorites, delivering a noisy, ’90s garage rock vibe that sneaks up on you with repeated listens. Drawing clear inspiration from DRIVE LIKE JEHU (though without the late Rick Froberg’s vocal assets), the album really hits its stride for me with songs that muscle-in a bit of ’70s proto-punk, like “Evidence.” Despite the band’s cutesy name, the energy here is gritty and fun, even if it eventually had me itching to revisit the classics that sparked it. Available on CD or cassette for your nostalgic pleasure. Check out “Proto-Being.”
