"LOZENGE,
a four-man band from Chicago, makes a clattery, distorted racket
on its fourth album, "Undone" (Sick Room). Cheap organ and synthesizer,
clanking percussion, clobbered drums and cranked-up bass work up stop-start
patterns that sound like progressive rock locked in a dank boiler room....
Every so often, someone howls a line like "What are we waiting for?"
amid the din, or the music switches to a sardonic oom-pah. All the
lurching and buzzing is invigorating and hilarious, unless you're prone
to motion sickness."
- John Pareles, New York Times, August 7, 2005
Kyle Bruckmann -- accordion, minimoog, organ, oboe, voice
Kurt Johnson -- bass
Philip Montoro -- metal percussion, drums
Mark Stevens -- drums

Announcing:
|
UNDONE
July 2005
Rousing anthems of panic and impotence for these our Dark Ages.
UNDONE is a careening, sardonic joyride of epic grandeur - but comes
conveniently parsed as a triple EP for you ADD-addled hipster casualties.
Our second Final Album so far!
Available on Sick Room Records.
