Fuzz is Ty Segall (drums / vocals), Charlie Moothart (guitar / vocals) and Roland Cosio (bass), They're heavy rock lifers-three California bred dudes who have been refining their riffs and getting weird together since high school (which wasn't that long ago, actually), If you are not already aware of Segall, well, what's up? He's one of garage rock's most prolific sons, Moothart plays guitar in The Ty Segall Band and was also a member of The Moonhearts, which included Cosio on guitar, Way back in the early '00s, all three played in the Epsilons, Fuzz was formed a couple years ago and this, their first album, was recorded by Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, The Intelligence), It dives deep, drawing inspiration from the more esoteric reaches of heavy metal pre-history, There are Sabbath and Hendrix nods, obviously, but you might also catch a whiff of UK progressive blues business like The Groundhogs and even a glimpse of the ghost of Australian guitar legend / sharpie guru Lobby Lloyde, The mood is not light, The songs project a state of perpetual paranoia and eroding mental health, It's a record for the burners.
