The sound is eclectic while not disconnected. There is gentle `70s soul-pop, aching country laments, a pinch of punk, and the trash of meshing Crazy Horse guitars. Yet, Dizziness and Darkness is cohesive. There is no doubt, track-to-track, that this is the same band but they manage to incorporate a variety of textures that make them impossible to pigeonhole. Fans of Whiskeytown, Grand Drive, Minibar, and the aforementioned Crazy Horse will find this 2006 release to be a winner. Songwriters Bradley Putze and Kevin Stokes have a way of lulling you, only to smack you around with a wry passage. Gentle, spacey, rocking, and original. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Open Plan Records)
