The Toronto-based project of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jo Hirabayashi, Jo Passed delivers a lilting, groove-led track that balances warmth with introspection. ‘Dizzy Izzy’ unfolds with a relaxed rhythmic pulse and layered instrumentation, reflecting a period of transition during the writing of Away . The song captures a sense of movement and adjustment, shaped by evolving band dynamics and a shift in how Hirabayashi approached live performance and arrangement. Additional guitars and keys broaden the song’s texture, giving it a fuller sound that mirrors its themes of change and forward momentum. Hirabayashi explains the song: “During the writing of Away , ‘Dizzy Izzy’ was part of the latter’s songs in the process. During the time I did sporadic shows around Vancouver mostly in a trio format with Mac Lawrie on drums and Téa Mei on bass. I started writing songs more thinking that I might work to pursue that format further for future live Jo Passed sets. The song ended up being a processing song about losing a fourth member from the past lineup and coming to terms with going in a new direction. Eventually, though, I ended up adding more guitars and keys that now require a fourth member.” ‘Dizzy Izzy’ is out now and available to stream on all platforms.
