Review.
Resolution is the latest offering from Psych/Stoner Rockers Pink Fuzz which is their first album in over seven years though the band did release a superb EP (Vitals) back in 2019. If you’re new to Pink Fuzz’s fast-paced and highly melodic world then you’re in for a treat with the band focusing upon playing sounds inspired by early-era QOTSA, Slomosa, FU MANCHU and Truckfighters. However, Pink Fuzz stand out when they branch out into areas of Doom, Fuzz and classic Shoegaze which injects a world building energy into their music.
The music is catchy and captures the best moments of the Nineties Alt-Rock/Stoner Rock scene especially when the music draws upon the likes of Mazzy Star with a thrilling Doomgaze melody being added throughout the whole album. The sound is quite “FIESTY” and “HEARTFELT” thanks to the excellent vocals from brother/sister duo of LuLu Demitro and John Demitro that perfectly taps into the Shoegaze vibe and the poppy upbeat sounds which become quite aggressive when the subtle Punk Rock / Sludge Rock grooves appear on the early stages of the album.
Resolution works best when Pink Fuzz thinks outside of the box with classic Stoner Rock passages that have a certain highly confident swagger on tracks such as Trigger, Long Gone and Coming For Me perfectly set the scene. There’s a hint of “Post-Doom” developing that merges with that boisterous QOTSA based sound which manages to offer a playful and full on aggressive attitude. The “POPPIER” elements soon transform into a delicious blend of Fuzz Rock with a twinge of Doom Rock suddenly appearing for a more refined “METAL” sound.
You’ll be surprised by the different HEAVY RAWK genres that Pink Fuzz manage to include out of thin air for the freshest, heaviest and hippest sounds on the whole album. Resolution allows Pink Fuzz to play recklessly but in the best possible way that manifests into sublime tracks full of great Psychedelic grooves on tracks such as: No Sympathy, Worst Enemy, Resolution, Am I Happy and Animal.
With excellent production values being applied thanks to great work by Kevin Mckeown on Production Duties and the legendary Alain Johannes who mixed the record. Resolution is one of the unexpected delights I’ve heard from the Stoner Rock scene I’ve heard this year. As Pink Fuzz are brilliantly inventive combining classic Stoner Rock against areas of Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Indie Rock for a record that’s bound to become a firm favourite within the underground scene.
