Biography
Longtime Will Oldham associate Colin Michael Gagon has released his brand of country-rock as EZT on the Bill Callahan-produced Goodbye Little Doll. Gagon's songwriting has a similar gothic rambling to Oldham's, but his arrangements are less spare. On songs like the gritty and rollicking "The Bay Shallows," or the sublimely work-a-day title track, EZT sounds closest to the crunchy Americana of Jason Molina's stunning Magnolia Electric Company. But Gagon will also traffic in humorous self-deprecation – take the upbeat and non-sensical drinking tune "Central Control," with it's toast to the red-headed girls. Goodbye Little Doll is a truck driver's daydream, diner bathroom-wall poetry, dead-end town realism, and a Midwestern tragicomedy. - Charles Spano, All Music Guide
