Fuzzy Sun on Hiatus

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.

portrayal of guilt / Chat Pile Split

One of my favourite newish bands is Chat Pile, a band that kinda difficult to pin down and has the sound like an industrial concrete mixer. If you don’t know them I really need you to listen to ‘Remove Your Skin Please’ and I promise you will be blow away.A while ago they did a Sepultura cover for the Flenser’s upcoming compilation. Now they released a split with Portayle of Guilt. The track is called ‘A Brutal Truth’ and maybe their sludgieiest and hievyiest track till now.

Chat Pile covers Sepultura

If you don’t know them I really need you to listen to ‘Remove Your Skin Please’ and I promise you will be blow away.

Joseph of Kirezi/切れ痔のヨーゼフ share ‘Bleeding Jam Session vol​.​2’

The Tokyo psych rockers  Joseph of Kirezi make fuzzed out psych and now they return with their second volume of the Bleeding Jam Sessions. This is 42 minutes of highly trippy psychedelic rock. Be sure to check out the bandcamp from the band, their is a lot of good stuff to check out.If you are in need of more psych you can check out more Japanese heaviness on my Cosmic List.

White Suns release ‘The Lower Way’

On the Decoherence label comes the new album from White Suns. Be prepared before you embark on this sonic journey, White Suns did make some absolutely destructive music in the past but I think they have now made the loudest stuff possible. This deranged album is something between bonecrushing noiserock and mind altering noise. The experimentalism on this album makes it even better, the sounds stay fresh and wild and it keeps surprising. This is not for the faint of heart though, ‘The Lower Way’ is extreme, experimental and above all, a sonic wet dream for the noise lover.

Best enjoyed in the dark with no friends.

Warish share first track from upcoming album ‘Next To Pay’

The Californian band Warish fronted by Tony Hawk’s son Riley Hawk returns even stronger than before. The trio has released some awesome punk/stoner in the past but this track may be their heaviest yet and instantly my favourite one. The track is called ‘Say To Please’ and is taken from their upcoming album ‘Next To Pay’ wich will be released April 30 on Riding Easy Records.

Crash Toto release The Riptoffer EP

The Belgian label Kraak and the Inhouse label of Swallowing Helmets released the new Ep from brussels band Crash Toto. The EP is out since January and is gorgeous riff and noise fest, filled with relentless guitar work and repetitive drums the whole ep feels psychedelic and trippy. Their is some experimental songwriting involved wich makes it very refreshing and fun to listen too. The Synths give that extra kick to it.

I added Crash Toto to The Big Belgian Noiserock List because they belong on it too.

Territorial Gobbing returns! This time with his first release on Vinyl through Buzzhowl

Territorial Gobbin aka  Terry T Gerb has quite released quite a lot of stuff over the last years. If you should feel bored and you need your sinusses to be sonically cleansed then Terry is the man for you, his music is extremely experimental and mostly in your face noise (the good kind if there is even a bad kind). A while ago I was really happy to share the album stream of his co-release with BlackCloudSummoner called ‘Heavier Than A Desk In The Factory’ (obviously influenced by Les Reallizes Denudes).

But now we are here for a joyous moment, today is the surprise release of his new album ‘Automatic For Nobody’ wich is on a beautiful LP out on Buzzhowl Records. The album is something special (well what did you expect), it is filled with almost hypnotic sounds that bring you in a trance real fast and I can tell you this because I was listening and my eyes glazed over and my brain stopped working and the people who saw me looked really weird at me. But who cares about people right.

So, Territorial Gobbing’s album ‘Automatic For Nobody’ is out today via Buzzhowl with artwork by Theo Gowans. Get yerselves the LP now and fry you brain with some really weird tunes.

Nokti release ‘Cockschmerzen’ on Crass Lips Records

I have never heard of the Croatian band Nokti before now and the first track instantly intrigued me. It is very weird and that is what I really like about music. But not only that, a couple seconds in you can hear a saxophone, wich I absolutely love in loud and weird music, so much I made a playlist about it and even added Nokti.

This whole album is a mix of gorgeous experimental weirdness and intense noiserock and it hits me just right in the feels.

Silk Leash release ROT​/​PIGS

I noticed their a quite a lot of bands that are difficult to find more about and a lot of them are these hardcore/noise/punk bands and I always like their sound. A sound that is very dirty, raw and loud. Silk Leash is a band like this, The Maryland hardcore/noisepunkers released two tracks and both are really loud and good.

Album Stream: Territorial Gobbing & BlackCloudSummoner – Heavier Than A Desk In The Factory

Leeds noise terorrist Territorial Gobbing (who also makes noises for Thank) has an immense output of brain destroying noisestuff wich you can check out at his bandcamp if you like to get a sonic beating. But that is not what we are her for at the moment. We are here to listen to the full album stream ahead of release of Teritorrial Gobbing and BlackCloudSummer. BlackCoudSummer is a harsh noise artist from Nottingham. Together they made ‘Heavier Than A Desk In The Factory’ wich is clearly influenced by the mysterious Japanese band Les Rallizes Denudes. If you are in to Japanoise you can check ‘The Cosmic Side of Japan‘ too

Self-recorded and engineered at abcdefg, the three track album will be available on limited editioncassette and download from NIM in the U.S. (Nim-Brut), and Outsider Arts in the U.K. (Outsider Art)

The three tracks are really good, the first track captures the soul of the noise that Les Reallizes Denudes created so long ago and gives the three track album a tranquil start. ‘Peaches and Crayons’ is more eerie and ends with a retro horror noise feel. ‘Playing All My Black Dice Records At The Same Time’ is in your face scary noise.

‘Heavier Than A Desk In The Factory’ is split in three different parts, each of them conveying a different feeling. Tune in for the eerie atmosphere now.

Spraint release ‘Radio Caca’

On Premature Records comes the new EP by Spraint. The EP is called ‘Radio Caca’ and is really cool, it has a lot of different influences wich makes it a really interesting listen, here and there the album feels like a grunge album but then the noisy garageriffs blast throughout and it is heaviness all around. Cool stuff, yes, cool stuff.

Shit and Shine released ‘Malibu Liquor Store’ on Rocket Recordings

Shit is getting confusing, there well come a time when I will try to make a post about Shit and Shine where I will try to order their records a bit from weird techno to strange electronics to brutal sludgenoise. Lately Craig Clouse (wich is, I think, the mastermember) has been releasing al his older albums on bandcamp and it brought me a lot of joy. So while I have been checking out all these releases Craig has been releasing new music as well.

‘Goat Yelling Like A Man’ is the album that is released on Riot Season Records and wich is mental sludgenoise. And right about the same time we have got the new album ‘Malibu Liquor Store’  wich is out on Rocket Recordings. Trippy and fat beats for moving your body. I tried moving my body on these beats and I must say it was pretty fun.
