They're heavy-rock lifers and three California-bred dudes who have been refining their riffs and getting weird together since high school. (which wasn't that long ago, actually)
Fuzz was formed in/around 2011 as a collaboration between Segall and Moothart, but its only within the last year that the pair had sufficient time to guide the band out of side-project limbo and into a recording studio. Since then, they have released two singles, This Time I Got a Reason (on Trouble In Mind) and Sleigh Ride (on In the Red). Around the time of the second single, Cosio joined on bass.
They are not dabblers or dilettantes. Fuzz have flipped through used bins, hard drives, and record collections of the world, seeking out the finest weirdo cuts. The band's self-titled debut LP, Fuzz, which was recorded by Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, The Intelligence), dives deep, drawing inspiration from the more esoteric reaches of heavy metal pre-history. There are Sabbath and Hendrix nods, obviously, but on Sleigh Bells you might also catch a whiff of UK progressive blues business like The Groundhogs, particularly when the song quits its 10/4-time intro and reboots into full bore choogle. Maybe you'll even glimpse the ghost of Australian guitar-legend/sharpie guru Lobby Lloyde sniffing around Raise.
The mood is not light. The songs project a state of perpetual paranoia and eroding mental health.
And as it should be, you know? It's a record for the burners.

Bringer Of Light
Fuzz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Millions of cries while we die
I am the the key inside thee
Bringer of sight the morning light
You are the flesh in the mirror
You are the reflection of my mind
I am the keeper of your time
The lyrics of "Bringer of Light" by Fuzz are highly metaphorical and can be interpreted in different ways. However, overall the song seems to be about a protagonist who possesses great insight and wisdom that comes from experiencing a lot of pain and suffering in life. The first line, "Millions of lies inside me," implies that the singer has been deceived and lied to many times in their life, leading to a sense of despair and disillusionment. The second line, "Millions of cries while we die," suggests that the singer has seen a lot of death and suffering around them, but instead of losing hope, they have gained a deeper understanding of the fragility of life.
The third line, "I am the key inside thee," is like a declaration made by the singer, saying that they possess a powerful knowledge or insight that is essential to the listeners' survival. The final line "Bringer of sight the morning light" refers to the new dawn or a new beginning that the singer would bring to the listeners and their hopelessness-filled lives. In the chorus section, the singer seems to address someone else (possibly their close friend or lover) and acknowledges their role in amplifying their voice and bringing their message to the world.

Millions of lies inside me
My mind is filled with countless deceits that I have stored up over time
Millions of cries while we die
Amidst our deaths, we all scream out in agony as chaos reigns supreme
I am the the key inside thee
I represent the solution that is hidden within you, waiting to be unlocked
Bringer of sight the morning light
I am the one who reveals clarity and enlightenment, shining a beacon of hope upon the darkness
You are the flesh in the mirror
You are the physical manifestation of my own being, staring back at me
You are the reflection of my mind
How you present yourself to the world mirrors the state of my own thoughts and emotions
You make my voice shine clearer
You enhance my ability to communicate my true intentions and desires with others
I am the keeper of your time
I control the flow of your precious moments and memories, preserving them for all eternity
