The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds, flute and vocals.
A handful of guests added saxophones, backing vocals and vocals.
The band members come from bands like Hatfield And The North and some other bands from the Canterbury scene. Maybe Fuzz Kitchen should be called a supergroup. The band name is an apt band name too.
This album clocks in at sixty-four minutes.
The music here is Canterbury scene.
The best reference here is Hatfield And The North. Caravan, National Health and Egg are also good references.
The music melodic and very playful. It is a throwback to the 1970s too, to the best days of the Canterbury scene.
The music is a blend of vocal-dominated songs and jazz. All of the music in the best of the Canterbury tradition. This album is indeed all about this scene and a tribute to this scene. A declaration of love for this scene I also love.
The vocals is great and in the Richard Sinclair mode. The band does an excellent job on some great songs and instrumental piece of music.
This is a very charming album and a great album in it's own right. It is also one of the best albums of the year. I am won over and am smiling like a Cheshire cat who has just got milk.
