“One of the List's favourites, this French singer-songwriter has five new songs on his site, including this, a drowsy original, written last week, that wouldn't sound out of place between "Guess I'm Doin' Fine" from Beck's elegantly morose Sea Change and pretty much anything by the Great Lake Swimmers.”

— John Sakamoto, The Star (Toronto)

“Lozninger = Beck + Air + Serge Gainsbourg. French musicians, similarly, are too good not to be French. Lozninger, a French producer/songwriter whose style lands somewhere between Serge Gainsbourg, the Silver Apples, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, is very, very good. (...) Lozninger’s more, I don’t know, artistic side, comes out in “Moving Targets,” a beautifully constructed bit of noise-pop, all found sound and melancholic piano that seems to fall into playlist format almost by accident. Originally when I downloaded these tracks, only the first twenty seconds of this song came through, and I was forced, temporarily, to contemplate what it might mean to package “Toxic” alongside the inchoate blips and fuzz of the A-side’s opening bars. I guess it’s kind of like a 4-minute Pet Sounds. Which, come to think of it, is about as French a maneuver as going on vacation on a Wednesday, or eating pizza with a fork.”

— Ben Lasman, Ampeater

“I could have sworn we had heard the last of the great Toxic covers long before now. But French folkpop experimentalist Lozninger’s comprehensive melodic and tonal deconstruction of the otherwise over-covered tune turns the Britney Spears original into something delicious, almost unrecognizable, and not yet heard: swirling and moody, an underwater city draped with softly rippling seaweed.”

— COVER LAY DOWN

“This track includes (Benjamin) LØZNINGER’S patented hushed delivery alongside a eerie journey through the past, memories, future possibilities or even alternate universe. He creates atmospheric music that envelope every bit of space around you and in headphones it can be quite epic. So not only is the video a great watch, the music to image factor is off the charts. Look for a new album soon, this Canadian in France is a favourite.”

— S. Smansmith, Slowcoustic

“Benjamin Løzninger is an extremely interesting fellow who makes extremely interesting music. (...)”

— Derek Pegritz, WeHeartMusic
