The New York Times described her 2010 debut, Before Lately, as "sweet without being cloying, weary without hopelessness," noting the vast space between notes, yet lack of air.

Before Lately was a slow-burning, introspective, meditative affair. Her follow-up EP, We Don't Need offers an expansion of the sonic palette she's established - with more dynamic moods, instrumentation, and experimentation.

Mize wants listeners to know that "the songs on We Don't Need are meant to be digested individually more than as continuous parts of a complete whole. Each has its own character and will likely be enjoyed in different mental states. As a whole, WDN is surely eclectic, but each part gives a little taste of the things to come..."

Indeed, We Don't Need does not fit easily into a box. The record does work as a whole, though, thanks to the constant winding its way through this varied landscape. Lending a cohesion to this sonic kaleidoscope is voice that Daytrotter described as "a tone that allows you to stretch your head back to that last great and true love that you experienced - the best form of it that ever came your way - and feel as if it never left." -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B006OFPJIS -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Another listing by Zip
