WUZI - Severed Head (2018)
Coming at us from England, the
four-piece of WUZI are deploying their sophomore EP roughly half a
year after their first, and with its four tracks of friendly fuzz
rock, Severed Head asserts
itself as a well-cooked bit of gristle. Meshing garage rock vibes
with some psychedelic polish, a jigger of poppy hooks, and some
sneering attitude to the vocals, the band grooves right along,
sounding quite comfortable in the odd lane they've carved out for
themselves. At just over a quarter of an hour, the EP moves along
quickly, but there's enough care given to deepening the tracks'
flavor that the brevity isn't too much to bear. Some of the
tangents, like the instrumental slide of “Compromised Host”, do
make me more than slightly curious to hear what the band would do
with some really long track durations, or even just to hear how a bit
of live jamming would turn out. In any event, the EP is one which
should perk up the ears of those looking for a bit of glitter in
their fuzz.
