Welcome to the Covered Records SoundCloud page!

Izzuss is currently a one-man project. All instruments are played by me, with a few guest appearances from some close and extremely talented friends. All songs were recorded and mixed by me at my (yet nameless) home studio in Colorado. Nothing has been mastered because I am poor :(

Many of the songs I work on are covers, but my focus has been increasingly on original compositions. The majority of original work that ends up here is more electronic and predominantly instrumental in nature. There is another side to Izzuss, but I tend to be much more perfectionistic with my more acoustic and lyrical songs, so most of them never end up here. Hopefully someday soon a few of them that have been around a while will show up. 

In March of 2010, I began work on a cover project dedicated to the singer of the band Sparklehorse entitled Ghosts I've Known: A Tribute To Mark Linkous. Sparklehorse was one of the first bands I ever saw in concert and has remained a top ten in my all-time list of musicians ever since. If you don't know the music, you should. Mark's death had a profound effect on me - quite unexpectedly - and ideas immediately began flowing about this way in which I wanted to pay tribute to him. I have learned a lot from the project, and have become even more  - how do you say - CLOSE, I guess, to the music of Sparklehorse and all of Linkous's projects. Hopefully others will enjoy what has come of it as well.

Please let me know what you think. Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

The songwriter Vincent Bricks has led several experiments in Rock bands such as (Co)-Pilot and Lala Power (6 extended plays were released /On Tour in France and Europe)  and has made the choice to experience music in a solo career and to assert his independent style tainted with psychedelic and swinging 60's POP.

In October 2014 he met Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper from Mercury Rev with also Ken Stringfellow (REM,  Big STAR,  The Posies)  with whom he recorded " The Selfie Game ", " I don't Care" , and "Russian Doll".

After the Bataclan Terrorist Attack,  JD Beauvallet ( Editor in chief of " Les Inrocks ") put forward to french artists to record in England an EODM title: Vincent Bricks was selected and recorded " I love You all the Time " (Tribute release on the 13th of November 2016 on his "soundcloud "

After this common good feeling with Christoph Skirl (Echo Zoo Studio producer, The single Stockholm was recorded. This single was released going along with " My Little Being " on the B -Side of the Vinyl Single ( March 2017)
In the wake of these experiments,  Vincent Bricks will be on Tour with a band of his choice.
