A slow burning album taking in Americana, folk, county and psych noise, Fuzzy Lights’ debut is a record to lose yourself in. Semi-improvised and recorded in members’ houses, the nine tracks veer from widescreen violin-led majesty to garage rock noise outs and ambient waves of sonic sandpaper. Instrumental for the most part, lone snatches of voices can be heard in passing; the effect is a huge, cinematic record of varied beauty that quickly endears itself to the curious. Like all great instrumental post-rock, the effect is an organic ebbing and flowing that give the speakers a damn good work out. 7/10
