Indiepop Spinzone, John Kruscek, Pennsylvania, USA, February 2003, Review of 'You Could'
Spinzone , John Kruscek, Pennsylvania, USA, February 2003, r eview of 'You Could' Hip-ometer Rating ~ 9.8 Ike Moriz - "You Could EP" This is the second release by my friend Ike Moriz, a now London based South African. This takes right from where the last single left off (same cover too) but I think he really finds himself on this new single. The title track is a dreamy Bowie-like soundscape meets Oasis and it melds all the hooks of those two genres to perfection. It really ought to be climbing charts someplace. The second track, Visionary is actually a grungy outing, coming close to being like Nine Inch Nails with better vocals. (I would say he reminds me of a cross between Bowie and Peter Murphy of Bauhaus fame). It's got chirping, edgy guitar and a very black but sexy feel to it. The last track is a remix of the song Drowning from his last single, and I don't have the time or inclination to see how different they are. It sounds a little different I thin
