FuzzCulture is cool. They just are. The minute you hear their first song you realise their coolness. They are those guys that you know will play something unexpected. They take you back to when you want to experiment. They take you back to the time where you played around with a mixed tape.
Experimentation with music can go horribly wrong. But when it goes right, it makes you curious for more. And these guys deliver. The songs are harsh and out there, Srijan Mahajan (from Parikrama fame) and Arsh Sharma (The Circus) not trying to hide anything. Discoveries are best when they are shared.
This two member band, out with the album that they released on Sound Cloud for free is one to watch. While vocals aren’t the main focus, the voice comes into the song in a nice way, not taking away from the intense drum beat and guitar but adding to it. What I most enjoy is the slightly sinister feel to the electronic. Reminds me of a sped up Kraftwerk, with a Tangerine Dream kind of feel.
What is also nice is that the band keeps you on your toes. You aren’t sure what to expect and that is an unbelievably good thing. You also need to pay attention to the music to understand what the subtleties and innovations are.
Take their track Pizkiatone for example. The track has a great intro that has you grooving, but the more I listened I felt like I was being taken through a journey (for me it was on a boat discovering a new island, which might have a little to do with my current travel fetish). The point being that their music transports you and is not something you want to turn off. I could listen to
Some of the sounds are plain intriguing. The Delhi band manages to create sound that seems of unexpected surfaces. Making me reminisce of the one time I witnessed Sivamani live with a plate and spoon in hand, the band while creating a completely different kind of music shares his spirit of creation. Degeneration Next is a perfect example of that. Another thing that really got me was the fact that while the music combines electronic, electronica, dubstep and more it is not too harsh on the ear. It has a smoothness to it that has you listening to it happily at 11 pm. And yes, I am the sort of person who prefers soft sounds before she passes out.
Giving out a very new-age dance movie vibe, Mr. Profanity should be used in any dubstep presentation. It is perfect. I could imagine a sequence in my mind. Again being transported in my head. These guys are cool. As mentioned before. They are very cool. They make you want to discover more about electronica. While the wide-spread electronic music scene spans Columbia to Japan, it takes just one to leave you wanting more, and FuzzCulture does just that.
All I’m saying is if I were walking through a music Weekender, I would stop in my tracks if Indulge.Divulge played.
