Listen to "Century Woods" from Lisa/Liza's debut LP, Deserts of Youth 05 Aug 2016

“Century Woods,” the opening track from Lisa/Liza's upcoming debut album, sounds of another time. That is not to say it’s an anachronism. In fact, singer/songwriter Liza Victoria’s dreamy, psychedelic folk fits in well with 2016’s class of forward-thinking Cosmic Americana troubadours. So maybe it’s more apt to say that “Century Woods” exists outside of time entirely. Victoria opens the song in a drifting, half-existent time signature, her careful, close-mic’d guitar lapping gently like sleepy waves at high tide. Her vocals reverberate powerfully without an ounce of reverb. The song’s dry production—seemingly no overdubs or effects at all—actually makes it sound even more mysterious: the magic is entirely in her performance. Six minutes in, as the song’s jazzy, Karen-Dalton-on-ambien melody begins to settle into your brain, it just kind of ends. The last sentence is left unfinished, the chord progression unresolved. Victoria’s haunting, imagistic dream logic is only beginning to reveal itself. - Sam Sodomsky, Pitchfork
