Fuzz Lightyear: Dense Worship
DL|Vinyl
Out 02/11/22
Totally immersed in Leeds’ experimental DIY scene – opening for the likes of Thank and gracing legendary venues just like the Brudenell Social Membership – Fuzz Lightyear are releasing their subsequent single on Come Play With Me, a label and growth organisation within the metropolis. The 4 self-described ‘noise-grungers’ self-produced the cavernous throb of Dense Worship as a part of Come Play With Me’s long-running singles membership.
The observe circles the work required post-trauma to “type the great from the unhealthy and the broken from the wholesome”. Vocalist/guitarist Ben Parry wrote the lyrics on a bleak’s winter’s day, pausing solely to “smoke, drink espresso, and hearken to Thank’s debut”.
Dense Worship swimming pools the brilliance of Fuzz Lightyear’s two most up-to-date releases: Berlin 1885 a tenebrous noise experiment; Carlton Hill a melodic, musical village eccentric. The four-piece’s newest fuses these for a darkly, emotionally charged mauler. The melodic burliness of Shellac makes for an ideal associate for a observe about wrangling with “a poor state of psychological well being” . The particularly searing instrumentation (together with some careering sax blows from Fuzz Lightyear affiliate Ryan Geach) within the choruses is belied by the undercurrent of fragility in Parry’s anguished, aggressive vocals. Moderately than the grunge based mostly observe of quiet verses to loud refrain, Dense Worship goes from resolutely loud verses to even louder choruses – choruses as destructively good as their bracing quantity. Issuing a fevered urgency, the band batters and bruises to a end result of instrumental collisions a la Sonic Youth, within the caustic self-flagellation of their devices.
Dense Worship is launched digitally on the twond November, and bodily on the 18th November. Order a bodily copy right here, and pre-save the observe.
