Lozenge, Doozy (CD)

I saw Lozenge a lot around the time of Doozy (2000), and now sometimes play music with Kyle, so my feelings are obviously biased. I can't totally tell nostalgia from rational reaction, but I still find Doozy a pretty crazy album. It sounds weird and somewhat lo-fi, which fits nicely with the cacophonous mess that it's presenting. Underneath the mess are very careful, if awkward, compositions, and pretty funny lyrics that can poke through all of the din (I don't remember them being nearly so comprehensible in concert). Doozy remains a disorienting but rewarding listen after all of these years' distance.
