Crazy world this. Boris Sujdovic, former Bass player for The Scientists & The Beasts Of Bourbon, has just released a new album Fuzz Mcahine. Funny thing is, it's got no bass on it. But don't think it's lacking any thrust. It's psychotic, unsophisticated garage fuzz at it's most primal, as wild and primitive as anything you've ever heard. A drum beat with a guitar riff, that's all, but what else do you need, apart from a fridge full of booze. The philosophy of this record was simple, and that was- to get whacked, find a beat, hit the play button and start recording the fuzz, and then hit stop. I ain't spending days programming beat changes or moving the cymbal crash a nano second back, i'll leave that to all the 'accountants' out there. The same can be said for phasing and clipping, who gives a fuck, if it sounds good, leave it. (what's phasing anyway). Don't get bullied by technology kiddies. Use what you need, not what you've got. That's the philosophy behind this recording. No one's saying that programming complex beats, is artistically bad, it's just that sometimes it's good when someone doesn't do that. Sometimes it's good to hear something that's just raw and unpolished. Boris will be playing around Australia and Europe in the coming months, with the Kat and the Toad in the band, so check them out.
