The Sizzos‘ latest release is a testament to the band’s mastery of storytelling through music. With ‘Wooden Bridge’ and ‘Lizard Skin’, frontman George Zaninovich leads listeners on a captivating journey through themes of loss, liberation, and introspection. Zaninovich‘s intentional approach to soundstage and mixing adds depth to the compositions, creating an immersive listening experience. Drawing inspiration from artists like Michael Kiwanuka and The National, The Sizzos aim to evoke emotions and foster connection through their music.
In ‘Wooden Bridge’, Zaninovich collaborates with This Side of Wednesday to craft a hauntingly beautiful ballad. The track’s ethereal vocals and driving bass create an urgent atmosphere, while the poignant lyrics delve deep into the complexities of human relationships. It’s a reminder to cherish connections and navigate life’s challenges with intention. On the b-side, ‘Lizard Skin’ offers a nostalgic exploration of parenthood and shedding expectations. Inspired by shared experiences as fathers to children with reptilian pets, Zaninovich and guitarist Dylan Lounsberry deliver an instrumental track reminiscent of iconic bands like Tears for Fears and The Cure. It’s a sonic landscape that invites listeners to reflect on their own journey of growth and transformation.
