Single Review: No One Could Tell

Dunedin-transient pop influenced, neo-psychedelic rock slackers Alizarin Lizard have released their second single in a month after about nearly five years of silence when they released their last album Do You Just Want Me To Watch You?

This latest single, No One Could Tell, was mostly recorded in bassist Chris ‘Bugs’ Miller’s lounge, and as a result, the track has a level of fuzz and reverb to it that adds warmth and comfort. Background noises and additional vocal conversation are present in the track but fit in well with the concept of the single, adding on top of the three vocalists already contributing to the band. All in an attempt to create a sense of crowding in a limited space, battling mental claustrophobia.

Outside of the usual guitar, bass and drum combination, No One Could Tell introduces the vibraphone and trombone. It all forms a concerted cacophony of melodious noise that still has a great rhythm reminiscent of that classic rock from the 60’s. A light-hearted dystopia of harmony.
