If a sickeningly healthy work ethic is a thing, then Ty Segall has one. Whether it’s a solo album, collaboration, a tour or a production credit, little time passes in between seeing his name on something new. Now his band Fuzz are back with a second album, spanning 14 tracks over a double LP.

As their name suggests, Fuzz is ultimately three longhairs headbanging along to distortion. Segall’s on drums and vocals and other busy blokes Charlie Moothart (Moonhearts) and Chad Ubovich (Meatbodies) handle guitar, vocals and bass respectively. Spliced opener Time Collapse/The 7th Terror sets the tone; all riffs and solos barging against crashing drums and yelps about “the terror”. Rat Race and Let It Live are stoner rock with traces of Britpop style vocals until they spazz out into uptempo jams part way through. Silent Sits The Dustbowl drifts in with a psychedelic intro, through a stringed arrangement before peeling back into a shudderingly sludgy riff. Red Flag is punky and concise, while instrumentals Sleestak and II could soundtrack a B movie motorcycle chase.

Someone could easily be fooled into thinking this album was from the early 70s, before metal was called Metal with metal guidelines and wasn’t quite blues, rock & roll or psychedelia. And when peppered with Segall’s characteristic touch of bittersweet glam, it creates an occult-y shtick, reminiscent of the proto-metal of that era. This is particularly evident on Pollinate, Bringer Of Light and Say Hello.

II is unfussy, loud and fun. Though certainly not a game changer, it’s made to turn up and enjoy. Those in adjoining rooms may disagree.
