Review by Alex

Tamatebako is the second studio album by the experimental rock band Cuz. The album's title translates to "treasure box" in Japanese, and it's clear that the band has uncovered some hidden gems in their musical exploration.

The album features a diverse range of sounds, from the psychedelic grooves of "Song 5" to the haunting balladry of "Houdini." Throughout the record, Cuz showcases their ability to seamlessly blend different genres and styles, creating a unique sound that's entirely their own.

One standout track is "Tamatebako," the album's title track. The song features a driving beat and swirling guitars, with vocals that alternate between dreamy and intense. It's a perfect encapsulation of the band's sound, and a highlight of the album.

This is amazing, wasn't sure what to expect when the song started but it brought me to an abstract state of mind, mike watt is a great addition here, beautiful expression.
