Fuzz – II

Fuzz – II

In The Red/Konkurrent – 2015

Rock, Psych, Garage

Rated: ****

On that first album we travelled back in time to 1969 or perhaps 1968 when the fuzz and heavy psychedelic waves sounded exactly this amazing. The perfect age and the perfect time of the year when Summertime heralded that massive sound from the boys from Blue Cheer. On their second album ‘II’ the San Francisco garagedelic threesome founded by Ty Segall continue their track through that heavy fatherland. Combining their bluesy, Sabbath-like guitar riffs with which they can level any crowd and those small touches of harmony that will have all you smile in disgust. Yes, indeed, you like it! You love it! Wild guitars and Ty drumming right alongside like a controlled maniac. This is high-energy hard edged garage rock and heavy psych that has a stoner edge thanks to wild antics of all players involved. Fuzz, a righteous name to live up to!  You’d better keep doing your damn best Mr. Segall!

We travel back in time towards the age of 1969. Or perhaps 1968 when the fuzz and heavy psychedelic waves sounded this great. That perfect age and the perfect time of the year, when Summertime heralded that massive sound from the boys from Blue Cheer. But we’re talking about Fuzz here. The San Francisco garagedelic threesome that Ty Segall founded early this very year. This time around the man puts his arse on the drum stool and handed over the guitar to Charlie Moothart, who ain’t no fool. Who has an amazing color range in his fingers and is able to whirl your mind with intense solos that make you dream of that kandy-kolored-dancing-girl. This is high-energy hard garage rock and heavy psych that has a stoner edge thanks to the impressive basswork by Roland Casio and his heavy bop and bump. And when we hear this kind of love for the heavy stuff from monsieur Segall we hope to hear more of this and less of something like the Sleeper album; so we can dance around like crazy and do that insane foot stomp. (By the way, Sleeper was also damn good.) But Fuzz holds you captive, hostage and demands full attention like some demented Wizz. There’s no escaping this…
