CD Review: Loosh

Madame JoJo’s

The Deal: Charlotte-based duo releases five-track EP with the help of their friends.

The Good: Greensboro-based musician/producer and Universal recording artist Evan Olsen got involved with “Quiet Simple Things,” an upbeat rock song about a relationship gone by. “You Fell in Love” has a punk rhythm to it, and I wonder if Nason has an accent at times. “Free” has a bit of a U2 feel to it while “Every Part” mellows things a bit to close out the album. You can hear some talent in the songwriting and melodies, which helps separate it from a mostly generic indie rock feel to the album.

The Bad: “I Just Want to Matter” has a gothic/indie feel in its rock roots, though its lyrics comes off as a little bit emo. Judging by the liner notes, most of the songs were recorded in 2001, which makes the listener wonder, “What took so long?” or “How old is this?” Since their Web site lists the band forming in the year 2004, I remain confused.

The Verdict: Wade through some mild confusion and there’s some potential in the band’s music, enough to make you want to hear more than five songs. They have plans to record a full-length album in the fall.
