NW Indiana Times/ Midwest Beat
By: Tom Lounges
* MARIZEN,
"Field" (Indie)
This 10-track
collection from the female-fronted pop/punk quartet
officially will be released this Sunday during a special
concert at the Double Door in Chicago.
"Field" was
produced by DeWayne Barron (Matchbox Twenty, Roger Daltry),
who did a nice job helping the band capture an energized
groove that feels very live. To put its sound in a
nutshell, MariZen is kinda New Wave-ish in a Romeo Void
meets Blondie sort of way. Their songs are catchy, melodic
and radio friendly, beginning with the attention-grabbing
title cut.
Musically, the four
players are on top of their game and work together well to
create a lively batch of boppin' good fun for the ears.
Highlights are found midway through the album on
the cuts “Real”, “You” and “Little
Bit.” My personal favorite here though is “Truth.”
