Harlequin Alex Izenberg

**Alex Izenberg's** debut album *'Harlequin'* is almost a study in distraction - a restless, feverish dream-sequence which variously invokes *Scott Walker's* obtuse, off-kilter worlds of sound, *Simon and Garfunkel's* psychedelic yet practical string arrangements, the vaudevillian pomp and preening of *Wild Beast's* early material and *Grizzly Bear's* pastoral early steps. All this is cut through with moments of total silence, patches of noise, found sound and countless dynamic left-turns and moment of non-sequitur.
