    Reviews:

    "Bozikovic maps out introspective narratives in clear, evocative turns of phrase, then uses her nuanced delivery to magnify each emotional dip and swerve"

    -CBC (10 artists to break in 2010)

    "A pair of short, stunning pieces open and close this debut album: The Letting Go is an organ-drenched hymn and anxiety remedy, and the rich piano notes and lush backing vocals of Grateful accompany a singer who is "grateful to hear your song in my head, grateful to lie all day in this bed." Right back at you, Lisa Bozikovic, right back at you."

    -The Globe and Mail (***)

    "The record has a gloomy seriousness to it that those who appreciate melancholy ballads will love. Her huge roster of local musicians makes for pleasing tonal variety, but her vision is so strong that it always sounds like her.... she'll launch into an intricate jazz pop groove, proving she's in a class of her own."

    -Now Magazine (****)


    "All the songs are gorgeous, but a few are real showstoppers.... the dramatic use of minimal guitar and vocal yodelling on Grey Sky is downright cinematic."

    - Eye Weekly Magazine (****)


    "One standout is Toronto's Lisa Bozikovic, who delivers one of the comp's most powerful moments in her somber, organ-driven country lament".

    -Eye Weekly Magazine
    (Friends in Bellwoods Review)


    "Lost August accomplishes something remarkable; it plays from start to finish and you wouldn't change a note"

    - Herohill


    "With Lost August, Lisa Bozikovic transfers the powerful intimacy of her live performance to a record brimming with confidence and, more importantly, a wealth of strong material. If you're already familiar with Bozikovic, it's the record you hoped she'd make. If you're not, Lost August is the sound of a bandwagon pulling over to give you a lift."

    - North by East West

    NEWS: LOST AUGUST, debut release

    This Summer, Lisa is excited to be opening for OHBIJOU out West! Members of Ohbijou including James Bunton, Anissa Hart, and Heather Kirby will also be her supporting band!

    Lost August was released locally in Toronto in December 2009. Engineered by Heather Kirby and co-produced by Sandro Perri, the record features an impressive cast of musicians, including members of Ohbijou, Muscox, and Steamboat. Lisa's strong songwriting and powerful voice drive the record through a wide range of styles-- from heartbreaking ballads to pop grooves to rich, melodic tapestries. The layered and eclectic sensibilities of Sandro Perri shine through some songs, while others are stripped down and raw, leaving room for the emotional intensity of Lisa's voice.

    Lisa has been twice featured as a performer at LadyFest Toronto, and in the past two years has shared the stage with The Acorn, Julie Doiron, $100, Laura Barrett, The Weather Station,The Burning Hell, Casey Mecija, Megan Hamilton, and many more.

    Lisa also makes Guelph her second home, where she can be found playing honky tonk keys in the country band Richard Laviolette and the Oil spills.
