izzle is the solo project of bassist and songwriter Casper van Beugen from 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, who founded the band Crimble Cromble in his hometown in the late 90s and released five CDs/EPs with singer-songwriter Klaas van Eijkeren and various musicians. Casper van Beugen can look back on a successful past, having performed not only nationwide and in Belgium with his former band but also having regular radio and television appearances. After Mr. van Beugen moved to Germany in 2007, both personally and professionally, he founded his new band "Mizzle" here, which musically connects to his old band. One can certainly speak of a mix of styles here, but there are parallels to Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" and Mr. van Beugen, who took on the role of singer, demonstrates a great willingness to experiment on this CD, resulting in a successful variety of songs. A melancholic and psychedelic atmosphere characterizes the sound of this record, which invites relaxation and toe-tapping with its 12 songs, and one can only hope that Mr. van Beugen can also build on his previous successes in Germany, especially since this sound, far from "commercialism," is attributed to the "underground" and Germany tends to struggle more than the Netherlands in giving this genre the commercial attention it deserves. The CD was released in July 2009. Excerpts can be listened to on the band's homepage.
