12.02.04
The Illinois Entertainer 

Heading to L.A. to record the full-length Field may have been the best plan of attack for pop/rock locals MariZen. The female fronted foursome teamed up with experienced producer DeWayne Barron (Matchbox Twenty), who lifts the group's zesty rhythms, new wave aura, and Blondie-esque beats to the next level. "Real" could potentially break out as a single, and even if it doesn't, should at least attract larger audiences to the band's shows where they'll hear glossy but not overdone power pop with an '80s tint.
