Xiu Xiu release “Girl With Basket of Fruit”

Xiu Xiu release “Girl With Basket of Fruit”

Fuzzy Sun

Xiu Xiu has always amazed me, Jamie Stewart, who is the only constant member since the experimental band started has been releasing music that is wildly imaginative and original.

Their previous album “Forget” ended on my best of 2017 list and was a little bit more accessible than the new work that has been released today. But this is good news, Xiu Xiu always shifts and turns and never delivers the same product. This time the music feels more nervous and bleak.

“Girl With Basket of Fruit” is again a magnificent work of experimental tunes that feeds the mind and the creativity.

The current line-up of Xiu Xiu is Jamie Stewart, Thor Harris, Jordan Geiger and Angela Seo

Daughters release video for ‘Less Sex’

Daughters release video for ‘Less Sex’

Fuzzy Sun

The Rhode Island noiserockers Daughters released their comeback album ‘You Won’t Get What you Want’ last year and it ended up as my absolute favorite on my end of the year list. It is a long time ago thazt I heard something this powerful. Daughters are a force.

Daughters are not only strong and intense in their music, the lyrics of the band are intense too. And now there is a beautiful video for the track ‘Less Sex’ too. Seems Daughters got it all.

The album was released through Ipecac on October 26.

New music by cosmic lords Küngens Män

New music by cosmic lords Küngens Män

Fuzzy Sun

The previous album by the Swedish psychedelic rockers “Fuzz på svenska” ended on my 2018 best of list. I have to admit that instrumental music quickly bores me, becomes tedious and does not get played a lot here.

But Küngens Män is one of the exceptions, the band creates and atmosphere that evokes calmness and a feeling of conectedness even though the music can get pretty chaotic and noisy.

Now the news that their will be a new album out on Riot Season Records is magnificent, wich already promises a good 2019. The new album by the four piece is called “CHEF” and will be released February 8.

Listen to the first released track called “Öppen för stängda dörrar”.

Listen to more psych on Fuzzy Sun’s list.

Best Of 2018 by Fuzzy Sun

Best Of 2018 by Fuzzy Sun

Fuzzy Sun
This is not an easy list, 2018 has given us a ridiculous amount of great music. I tried to shift as much as possible and made a list of albums that really made a difference for me, albums with a unique sound and wich time and time again made me happy.
The list is in no particular order except maybe for the first four albums. these four have blown me of my socks with their exceptional songwriting, these four made it difficult to absorb all the other music because i keep returning to them.
Enjoy these bands and take your time to listen to them carefully. If you like these sounds you can find more psychedelic tinged music here and more heaviness here.

Daughters release “You Won’t Get What You Want”

Daughters release “You Won’t Get What You Want”

Fuzzy Sun
I have to say that this album completely blew me away. When the first tracks from the new album were released a while ago i got way too excited. “Satan in the Wait” was the first to enter my brain and i already decided that the album “You Won’t Get What You Want” would be a masterwork.
I calmed myself down because it is always the same with me, I get way to excited and then in the end i’m disappointed. But then track”The Reason They Hate Me” came out and I went berserk again.
By the time “Long Roads No Turns” came out i was starting to act weird.  Small tics, uncontrollable movements that led to embarrassing public moments.
Now Daughters is out and people start to avoid me, look away when they see me limping on the streets with a maniacal smile on my face. But i don’t care, i close the curtains when i’m home, dim the lights, sit in the middle of the room and listen to Daughters on max volume. and I’m Happy.
Be aware when you start listening to Daughters: It may cause social disorders, nervous tics, earfungus, drooling and Ascension.

Qujaku release video for “Yui, Hate No Romance”

Qujaku release video for “Yui, Hate No Romance”

Fuzzy Sun
I have become quite a Qujaku nerd this year. I am a big fan and i will not hide it. The Japanese band released their full length this year and it is even more gorgeous then I hoped it would be. With a unique mix of doom, noise rock and psych the Japanese band are one of my favorite acts in a long time.
They released a new video for the track “Yui, Hate No Romance”.  Check out there new vid here.

Next to their original sound and complex music Qujaku has a very strong live act, so if you got the chance you got the see them live. While you’re here, check out  the track “Shoku No hakume”.
The video “Mei” is from their previous EP and one of my favorite tracks of the band. The tension on the track is beyond.

A while ago you could buy the LP on Norman records but it’s sold out at the moment. If there will be more you will need to by this.

Daughters share “Long Road, No Turns”

Daughters share “Long Road, No Turns”

Fuzzy Sun
Rhode Island noiserockers Daughters are on their way to become my favorite band of 2018 (together with Gnod). They released two track already called “Satan in the Wait” and “The Reason They Hate Me”. These two anxious tracks are extremely powerful and together with the new track “Long Road, No Turns” i have decide that the rest of the album should be absolutely terrible to not become one of the best albums of the year.
Their album “You Won’t Get What You Want” will be out October 26 on Ipecac.
Listen to the third track “Long Road, No Turns” by Daughters.
