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.

Fuzz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel them form to me
In the night while they sleep
Giving to me endlessly
by words they will see
I am one with the sheep
to each other we shall speak
Chanting our incantations

You will never be alone

You will never go home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Pipe by Fuzz contain a strong sense of spirituality and mysticism. The opening line "I can feel them form to me" may refer to an individual's connection with a higher power or even the universe itself. The reference to feeling this connection "in the night while they sleep" suggests that this connection is strongest when one is most open and vulnerable. The line "giving to me endlessly by words they will see" implies that this spiritual energy is conveyed through language, perhaps through prayer or ritual.

The overall sentiment of the song is one of community and shared experiences. The line "I am one with the sheep, to each other we shall speak" suggests a sense of solidarity among those who share this spiritual connection. The repeated phrase "chanting our incantations" further reinforces the idea of a shared ritual or practice.

The final lines of the song, "you will never be alone, you will never go home," suggest a sense of comfort and belonging that comes from being a part of this community. The fact that the phrase "you will never go home" is paired with the assurance that "you will never be alone" suggests that home is not a physical place, but rather a state of being that is achieved through the shared experience of spirituality and community.

Line by Line Meaning

I can feel them form to me
I sense their presence close to me

In the night while they sleep
When they're asleep and it's dark outside

Giving to me endlessly
Providing me with a constant stream of thoughts

by words they will see
Through the words they visualize

I am one with the sheep
I am united with them as a single entity

to each other we shall speak
Sharing our thoughts with one another

Chanting our incantations
Reciting our sacred spells

You will never be alone
You will always have others around you

You will never go home
You'll never be able to return to where you began
