Eight glorious tracks of heavy, frantic and, yes, extremely fuzzy, proto-metal.

R-I-F-F in all caps probably best describes this record, which steers clear of the garage, and instead shoots for the spaced-out proto-metal of Pentagram and Sir Lord Baltimore.

The band is obviously very good at delivering infectious hooks with muscle and soul, but those moments only pop if there's a control in place to offset the heavier stuff.

They have a connection, that much is clear, but don’t mistake this for something careless. In actuality, it’s effortless. A smooth combination of songcraft, playing ability, and fearless joy.

The main success of a band connected to Segall's enormous musical personality is to not be overwhelmed or outshined by it, and in its best moments, Fuzz will have listeners forgetting Segall is part of the equation at all, the album's brooding heaviness more immediately moving than any of his distinctive sonic ticks.

The band’s self-titled record showcases Segall’s falsetto stylings over a stoner metal symphony, the prolific one taking on a different role, as the group’s drummer.

It flat-out reeks of authenticity, and if you don’t know what authenticity smells like, it’s only because FUZZ is still holding in the smoke.

Fuzz is a garage rock band whose history is...something. To quote Moothart, the vocalist and guitarist in the band, "I was sitting in my house one day, before I was in Ty's band or anything, wondering how hard it would be to write a hard rock song. I was trying to figure out if it'd be ridiculous, or sound like shit. I just tried and then eventually showed the stuff to Ty. He was stoked about it, and then we tried to jam together.

Thank you @Birdshh for the rec! The sound on this album is really up my alley, I'm a big fan of that proto metal/garage type of sound. So I really like this one! Great guitar playing throughout with some killer riffs and licks. Glad I listened to this!
Pretty cool and lived up to my expectations. I listened to one of their songs prior and was curious to hear what the rest of the album sounded like. Pretty much what I thought it would, so did didn't blow me away, but the problem with albums that never "rest" is that it starts feeling like too much all at once, and the songs become tiring after a while. But since the album isn't too long the pain isn't too bad.
I loved 'what's in my head'; I can't ... read more
