Fuzz - III, album review


Literally

This trio of  Charles Moothart, Ty Segall and Chad Ubovich have named themselves as literally as could be to mirror the heavy power trios of yore, and this is a heavy trio set, though perhaps not quite as heavy as I anticipated. But it is riff driven - perhaps the core tick that needs to be ticked and is ticked - and the guitar work is the most frenetically heavy, the best example on Time Collapse. I do find the vocal a little lightweight, but the occasional harmonies compensate at times. One of the more riff-central tracks is penultimate Blind to Vines, the lead vocal here a little like T-Rex Marc Bolan. I have certainly enjoyed its rousing panorama of the past in this morning's listen.
