The current collapse of civilization is much more bearable with an upbeat groove, as the Bel-gian collective Lézard quickly realized. Beneath the functional geometry of this quintet boils a frenetic hysteria: a Boogie Wonderland for eccentrics, outcasts, and lost souls of which one can't help but feel a part.
Thanks to a sound developed in the spirit of Devo, The Contortions, LCD Soundsystem, and the Belgian ancestor Telex, Lézard has already turned many heads with its disco-styled art punk antics.
The band flaunts its garish pop intelligence like a too-tight three-piece suit in the heat of summer.With the high-flying exercise Nothing At All and the track Coltrane & XTC as sordid as it is charming serving as introductory salvos, Lézard has proven to be a rapidly evolving creature.
