The Artist. Alex Izenberg.The darkness has taken over me
Once I see her engagement ring Alex Izenberg's "Grace" may be one of his most accessible tracks. Piano chords roll under a desperate voice, as strings add a level of sentimentality, coloring the pain in soft hues. Contrast this with his song "To Move On," and the tone immediately changes. Still recounting a lost love, this track has its softer moments, but is predominantly cheerful, mirroring his perception of his ex-lovers carefree manner of moving on without him. You don't know what it's like to have to move on She started dancing to that fine, fine music It's true, love You don't know what it's like to have to move on From a name you despise It's true, love Izenberg's album, "Harlequin" is experimental without totally breaching approachability. His unorthodox style shades each track, feeling largely inventive, rather than forcibly avant-garde. For an album promising to move outside what's standard, Izenberg's last release is worth the listen.
