Griffin Washburn's project Fuzz Ghost accompanied by Mills Brown, Eli Perron and Luke Fedorko released a few days ago their eponymous debut EP. Based in Nashville, mostly known for country bands, these guys are proving a new wave is coming to the city, and this is not because Third Man Records has influenced them, nothing further away from reality.
The voice with an empty energy which starts 'Sandy Burn' is replaced quickly for a surf and garage ballad, sounding as a slow motion version of Fidlar. Lo-fi instrumentation makes way to the heartbreaking lo-fi vocals on 'Lost Mind', which also is looking at the sky to sound harder than it has, thanks to the southern surf rock with a garage touch that they perform.
Rock'n'roll directly brought from the 50's to introduce 'Dead Fish' as well as fuzz credit their first name's band, being Ty Segall on the air, adding the ghost part the vocal choirs, reaching remember this time Wavves. Romanticism and a wall of noise combine together inside 'Eye', showing that they are capable to be lovely guys, or at least, not so rude as their music sounds.
And when you think everything is gone, suddenly appears 'Sunshine' and its load of stoner rock to relax themselves, putting for that their Royal Blood costumes and letting themselves go to a jam session which unfortunately has an end.
