IZAAK OPATZ Extra Medium Rating: 7.3 It's not often that a musician can toe the line between serious introspection and comedic irreverence as effortlessly as Izaak Opatz does on his newest album, "Extra Medium".
With a title that perfectly encapsulates the quirky charm and off-kilter humour that pervades the entire record, Opatz delivers a delightful blend of folk, rock, and Americana that is as refreshing as a pint of British ale on a warm summer's day.
From the opening track "The Hobo and the Cop" to the closing notes of "Beer Weather", Opatz's songwriting is sharp, witty, and filled with cheeky wordplay.
His clever turns of phrase and sly observations inject a sense of playfulness into each track, making "Extra Medium" an absolute joy to listen to.
At times, Opatz's laid-back delivery and casual approach to songwriting may veer dangerously close to sounding a bit too nonchalant, but his ear for melody and knack for crafting catchy hooks always pull him back from the brink.
Tracks like "Gotta Get Gone" and "Cut Out the Lights" are particularly infectious, with their irresistible grooves and sing-along choruses.
Overall, "Extra Medium" is a wonderfully charming album that showcases Opatz's unique voice and quirky sensibilities.
It may not be groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it's a damn good time, and sometimes, that's all you really need.
Cheers to that.
