Loose Koozies • Forget To Think • 2020


"Southeast Michigan-based country rock outfit Loose Koozies make thrillingly unfussy music"
- Fader

"In these trying times, the humanist message of [second single] “Forget To Think” is a welcomed mantra, and we should be glad that folks like Allen are getting it out there."
- American Songwriter

"They’ve created something that feels like pure new-wave country, and it feels like an emotionally-full, substantive sojourn—the listener arcs through all 11 tracks feeling as though they’ve had a fulfilling visit at the Kooozies' lodge, sequenced to peak, to valley, and to re-jolt the system the same way a good movie might space out it’s narrative structure."

Band of Horses - why are you ok - 2016




Band of Horses partnered up with Rick Rubin’s label and the production has changed hands from someone responsible for the first couple of Steve Miller and Eagles records to the dude behind The Sophtware Slump. Whether the partnership with Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle is inspired or productive, it’s at least new, which is just as good. While Why Are You OK? lacks the specific sense of place that Seattle and South Carolina embedded in their first two LPs, “Broken Household Appliance National Forest” is a more interesting setting for the same old Band of Horses songs than the 4 p.m. slot at whatever festival still focuses on guitar music. pF
