Every Weekend by Dan Svizeny
"Singer-songwriter Dan Svizeny (formerly Cough Cool) grew up among the artifice and it rubbed off on him in a bad way because he’s pivoted to make sure he became anything but — his new album Every Weekend is heartbreakingly honest, his most personal collection of songs yet. Recorded “all alone, in an empty house, in a quiet town” after moving to New Jersey following a few years in Philadelphia, Svizeny channels his ennui into chilly but hopeful reverb-drenched tracks." - James Rettig, Stereogum
"Close-Up U.S.A.” is a pop song through-and-through—just layered under about three tons of distortion—and it’s as crunchy as it is sweet." - David Miller, IMPOSE Magazine
"F-ing fantastic. Closing my eyes, nodding my head back and forth, air guitaring/drumming/you get the whole gruesome picture. Fuzzy, shoegaze-y, melodic, and achingly pretty. 10/10." - Don't Need No Melody
"This new LP will sidestep the more abstract experimental sounds of Cough Cool and instead showcase Svizeny’s talent of crafting fuzzed up pop beauties. The artist has called he new album a breakup album, but not with another person so much as an entire city - in this case, his hometown of Philadelphia. The first single, “New Hope is a Bad Scene” is a reverb-drenched bedroom pop gem - all fuzz pop guitars and power pop harmonies. It’s a killer track and another reason to be excited about anything coming out of Forged Artifacts or Dan Svizeny for that matter." - PerfectMidnightWorld
