Fuzziliers are a quartet from St Petersburg, now resident in Istanbul and this EP is an absolute revolution crossing genres at will. It successfully straddles influences from Psych Pop to Brit Pop via 70s Pop Rock, yet the band make these sounds their own.
For instance The Tea Song sounds somewhere between Cockney Rebel and Medicine Head, incredibly melodic with a catch all chorus. Would You Believe evokes memories of great 60s Psych Pop and UK Beat, yet is also near to the great Gravitas Guitar Pop of the 80s.
The arrangements in both songs are jam-packed and reveal a band that knows what they are about musically, but also have a great record collection. Irene is all jollity instrumentally, a little Marmalade, a little Jigsaw with added wonderful fuzzed up guitar. It is a crackerjack of a song.
Don't See Me sounds more modern, a song that would grace Brit Pop, wonderfully put together as all four songs are. Would You Believe is such an engaging listen, the only regret is that there is not more. Hopefully, we will get an album and I'd jump at the chance to listen. The EP is available at Name Your Price, so what have you got to lose? Satisfaction is guaranteed.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
