The Cruel Earth closes 2022 on a fuzzy note with the November release of The Fuzz That Never Was book and album, followed by December’s Fuzzy Transits For Fucking Tweens.
Fuzzy Cousins
These two albums share fuzzy DNA. Both are packed with drenched-in-distortion instrumental music. Let’s take a closer look.
Fuzzy Transits for Fucking Tweens
As the title suggests, this collection of 18 instrumental tracks takes themes explored on prior Cruel Earth albums — Transits (October 2022) and The Fuzz That Never Was (November 2022) — and blends them in a new, more mature musical direction. Not completely mature; these songs are tweens so they’re awkward and gangly but still ugly lovable. Fuzzy Transits For Fucking Tweens is, by turns, loud and brash, soft and tender, and oh-so easy on the ears. Distorted fuzz guitar grows up a little and gets weird on Fuzzy Transits For Fucking Tweens. Give it a listen!
The Fuzz That Never Was
Studies using alternative facts and questionable parents show that infants and toddlers exposed to loud, distorted guitar music score higher on general intelligence tests than their boring, uncool peers. Go ahead and leave that stroller near the PA speakers at the next metal festival, or toss a Bluetooth speaker in the crib and crank it up. Kids love fuzz guitars — the louder, the better!
The Cruel Earth’s renowned love of children comes through loud and clear on The Fuzz That Never Was, a book and album that tells the story of Fuzz and his quest for a forever home! Parents and children alike will delight in the magic of fuzz-drenched instrumentals. Pounding, dirty rock ‘n’ roll with no stupid lyrics (except for the abundantly stupid title track) — The Fuzz That Never Was is pure joy for fuzz fans of all ages!
