Dyzack is the stage name of guitarist, singer, composer and Hagenees Erik Hofland. On his second CD Neurotic Jackpot he is just as adventurous and original as on his debut The Rat Dance Refizz from 1998. The most important ingredients of his sound are often acoustic (slide) guitar playing, his high voice and the creative, varied playing of drummer Martijn Bosman. In terms of his madness and respect
… for roots music, Dyzack can be compared with Captain Beefheart with some imagination. He has in common with Beck, certainly on Neurotic Jackpot, with his strange guitar and sample sounds that appear from all over the place. Most of the record is filled with Dyzack's own "neurotic" mix of angular funk, folk and blues. He shows his sensitive side during the ballads Letter Bleed and The Jesterwax. (WvdZ)more
