Everything needs a break and so does Fuzzy Sun. I started this website a couple of years back for fun and with a passion for psychedelic rock and noiserock and in these years I discovered so much awesome music, bands and people. But life is kinda busy and it was getting difficult to combine Fuzzy Sun with normal life so I decided it is a time for a break. When will i start again? In six months? In a year? in 50? Don’t know yet.
Anyhow, it was fun. I will keep this website on air for now and ofcourse I can’t end without another list and ofcourse it is a list with my favourite noiserock and psychedelic rock. For the lazy fucks out there I put everything in a Spotify List too. So here goes, a list with the stuff i liked most since I started Fuzzy Sun.
Gnod
Gnod has released quite a lot of music, experimental stuff, weirdo music and electronic stuff but what blow me completeley away was their noiserockalbum ‘Chapel Perilious’. Favourite track: ‘Donovan’s Daughters’. They are also in the middle of releasing a new album ‘La Mort Du Sense’ which i will paste here too because Gnod rules.
Tonstartssbandht
‘Sorcerer’ may well be one of my most listened psych albums. There is so much magic in their music, it is refreshing and original. They are in my duo list too. The brothers are working on a new album and have the first track out. I will paste this one here too.
Favourite track: Breathe
Daughters
Well, this album is extremely amazing and I don’t think anyone would argue that.
Favourite track: Ocean Song
Xiu Xiu
A very weird band with albums that vary a lot, always experimental and weird. Favourite track: ‘Wondering’
Beak
Ofcourse Beak> has to be on this. Trippy kraut music with a lot of layers. Favourite track: ‘When We Fall’.
Qujaku
And here is my favourite Japanese band! I saw Qujaku live once and was completely blown away by their mix of noise, doom and heavy psych. Favourite track: ‘Kagamie’
You can find Qujaku on The Cosmic Side of Japan.
Prana Crafter
you can just visualize the nutare and the beauty when listening to Prana Crafter. ‘Enter The Stream’ is, I believe, the only album with vocals and it is stunning. Favourite track: ‘Enter The Stream’
Girl Band
If you talk about experimental and loud music then you talk about Girl Band, awesome and destructive, unsettling and wild. Favourite track: ‘Going Norway’.
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様
There is going to be a lot of Japanese music on here and there is nothing you can do about it. Kikagaku Moyo is a collective of psych/kraut musicians that make chill and trippy music.
USA/MEXICO
If USA/Mexico would be a smell it would be smell of asphalt. You know its all wrong but the black gunk smells good.
Favourite track: ‘Matamoros’
All Them Witches
All Them Witches is a must for me, their bluesy psychedelic desert rock always hits me right in the feels.
Youff
Extremely chaotic noiserock from Ghent, Belgium.
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt contains more caffeïne then 50 cups of espresso.
Osees
So much choice in which album I could share by the most famous psych band in the cosmos and I chose the weirdest album. Can’t help it.
Part Chimp
The return of the UK riff legends.
Black Shape
Riffs, Riffs and more riffs. 45 minutes long riffing with really cool lyrics and vocals.
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE
Another Japanese band and one of the founding fathers of Japanese psych. Wityh a constant stream of new music it was difficult to make a choice but ‘Reverse Of Rebirth In Universe’ spoke to me the most.
Chat Pile
‘Remove Your Skin’ is both brutal and destructive, it is unique in its own way. it is evil. If you want to be a hipster it is good to recommend this to friends.
Locean
‘Top Ten Zen Meditations’ is weird new wave experimental psych stuff. No idea what it is but its damn cool.
Thank
I can’t sit still while listening to this, but I can’t dance either, I jsut stand weirdly in the room.
Naujawanan Baidar
Traditional Afghan sounds mixed with modern psych.
Dirty Junk
wild and crazy, ridiculously heavy.
Favourite track: “Hatchu”
France
Repetitive and highly psychedelic. To completely trip away and never to turn back.
The Armed
The ever mysterious band The Armed delivered something spectacular with their new album ‘Ultrapop’.
Moon Pussy
There is a certain groove to the noiserock of Moon Pussy. Its goddamn catchy noiserock.
Mong Tong
Two brothers sampling weird sounds through traditional Taiwanese music. gorgeous stuff.
Blom
Relentless and Intense. one of my favourite UK bands
Lilac
And extremely powerful debut album by these noisepunkers.
Alex Maas
Alex, vocalist for The Black Angels, made a solo album full of psychelic folk.
Shifting
Truly exceptional noiserock from Dublin
Population II
funky and trippy psych by the Montreal band Population II.
SLANT
In your face hardcore punk from this South Korean band.
REPTOID
.ONE MAN NOISEROCK DEITY.
Tropical Fuck Storm
TFS makes really good garage/psych stuff and they are on my Australian list.
BIG|BRAVE (+BIG|BRAVE with The Body)
The vocals are spectacular, both on their EP ‘Vital’ as the more drone/folk album with The Body.
Modern Technology
Another duo, these two probably went studying in The School of the Distorted Riff.
Metz
No noiserock list without Metz.
Pink Room
Nasty, Belgian rocknnoise. In your face garagetrash. Wild Unfermented Punk.
White Suns
There is a big difference between noise and noiserock and White Suns is one of the few that can shift with ease between these two genres. ‘the lower way’ is epic.
Gaffa Bandana
Gaffa Bandana is the duo Gill Dread (Bruxa Maria) and Jennie Howell (SO3EK, Sleeping Creatures, Gorse. Expect extremely heavy riff fueled noiserock.
Dusty Mush
Experimental psych and fuzz at its best by the French Dusty Mush.
Alexis Marshall
Alexis Marshall (Daughters) released his own solo album ‘House of Lull. House of When’. And it is a poetic mix of industrial, spoken word and experimentalism.
Pure Adult
A powerfull and experimental noiserock and punk band.
Amyl and the Sniffer
‘Comfort To Me’ is the best punk album of 2021. easy.
Just want to say a massive thanks for your efforts and passion. I have discovered loads of amazing new music through fuzzy sun and am grateful for everything you shared.
Take care and hope life takes you in places you enjoy being.

Thanks for all the awesome music you posted! Your blog became my favourite source for new music over the years. Just started listening through your list here, but I already saw a lot of stuff in there that I really grew to love after hearing it first in your blog and some stuff that I apparently missed.
Which brings me to another point: You posted way more than one could listen to anyway. And I guess you won’t stop listening or looking for new music. It doesn’t have to be on or off. If you just occassionally drop a post when you have time and feel like, I think nobody would complain :>
Anyway, wish you the best and hope to hear from you again at some point!
