​Sweet Lizzy Project (from the album Technicolor available on Mono Mundo Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
A band like Havana, Cuba's Sweet Lizzy Project makes you wonder if there are an endless army of Indie Rock’n’Roll bands kicking around nations circling the globe. We can thank Raul Malo (The Mavericks) for their American presence of Sweet Lizzy Project when he accepted the role of musical diplomat to help the band gain a foothold here in the United States. Raul put up some of the band members in his Nashville home and eventually signed the band to The Mavericks imprint, Mono Mundo Recordings. With the release of their sophomore effort Technicolor, Sweet Lizzy Project is proving to be players worthy of a listen in the Indie Pop scene, injecting slight traces of traditional Cuban music into punchy doses of Pop.  The title track kicks Technicolor off with a groovy pulse, lead vocalist Lisset Diaz singing ‘I’m colorblind, I wish that I could shine’, the soundtrack to the lyrics featuring Psychedelic guitar against big Rock breaks.
“Ain’t Nobody to Call” has a bratty Punk beat that proves American New Wave of the 1980’s made it into Castro’s Cuba decades ago. “Tu Libertad” has a lounge vibe while “The Flowers in the Seed”, which has Sweet Lizzy Project joined by The Mavericks, is a big duet with beautiful jangly guitar riffs.   “Vuelta Atras” has a fun bounce with another quick shot of psychedelic guitar aching to take off into extended jam territory, acid-dripping guitar sonics mellowing into the dreamy album closer, “December 31st”.    (by Bryant Liggett)
