Spin features Fuzz’s new track “Sleigh Ride”
Spin

“As SPIN’s David Bevan wrote in his cover profile of Ty Segall last fall, the San Franciscan garage-punk cyclone’s newly formed outfit is so aptly named, it’s a wonder someone didn’t beat them to it. As Fuzz, Segall and his former Epsilons pals — Roland Cosio (bass) and Charlie Mootheart (guitar) — are a well-oiled doom machine spewing out noxious proto-metal and blues-dripping rippers the likes of which the world hasn’t heard since Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer infested the airwaves…”

CMJ premieres Thee Oh Sees video for “Minotaur”
CMJ

“Thee Oh Sees have given us a video for their song “Minotaur,” a track off of this year’s Floating Coffin. The video, directed by band members John Dwyer and John Harlow, follows a day in the life of a mythical minotaur. This beast is as ordinary as the rest of us: he watches TV, punches in for work and tries to impress a lady. But, it’s not all fun and games for the poor beast, as two knights plot his demise. See the battle ensue below…”

Spin Magazine features Mikal Cronin
Spin

“Cronin’s accustomed to whipping up a frantic sonic storm as a sideman, but his solo work is more winsomely melodic and carefully crafted. “Don’t Let Me Go” and the aptly titled “Piano Mantra” are lovely and lilting, while “I’m Done Running from You” and “Am I Wrong” burst with giddy rhythm, high harmonies, crisp guitars, and effervescing melody…”

Stereogum features Mikal Cronin single, “Weight”
Stereogum

“The San Franciscan psych rocker and longtime Ty Segall co-conspirator Mikal Cronin is getting ready to release his new solo album MCII, and today he’s shared its opening track, the breezy and uplifting “Weight.” The song has all the finely sculpted fuzz-tone we expect from the Bay Area garage-rock underground, but it’s also got a furiously sharp classic-rock hook at its center, and it’s got me seriously excited to hear the rest of the album…”

Spin reviews Mikal Cronin performance of new song at 35 Denton
Spin

“The above clip of a new, unidentified Cronin song arrived during the lead-up to the biggest fest in the Old Wild West, at a humble little shindig called Denton 35. While it doesn’t offer the “mondo, full of frenzied energy” affair that our own David Marchese witnessed a few days later, the MCII track is a lovely little slab of upbeat downer music about getting older and being bolder…”

Time Out Chicago reviews Mac DeMarco performance at Empty Bottle
Time Out Chicago

“DeMarco just emanates a rush of freewheeling lightheartedness when he plays, and it was perceptibly infectious. In the frenzied excitement of the Bottle it didn’t, however, do much to let the airy, calm side of DeMarco’s music through. With the amped-up crowd came faster, more charged versions of DeMarco’s normally soft ‘n’ greasy tunes…”

Rock it Out! Blog: “A Conversation With Mac DeMarco”
Consequence of Sound

“In a back alley in Austin, TX during South By Southwest, the Rock it Out! Blog’s Sami Jarroush caught up with rising singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco. During their brief chat, the two spoke about DeMarco’s plans for 2013, who he’d like to see during SXSW, and the refund value for cans and bottles in Montreal, Canada…”

Ty Segall’s Proto-Metal Project Fuzz Confirms ‘Sleigh Ride’ Single, Debut Album
Spin

“Fuzz are set to deliver a follow-up 7-inch on April 16 dubbed “Sleigh Ride.” Los Angeles DIY mainstay In the Red will handle the release, and reports that, “The band more than live up to their name with a a sludgy, heavy, psyched-out proto-metal sound that is steeped in shredding fuzztone guitar. Comparisons to Blue Cheer, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Black Sabbath have been made and are not far off the mark.””
