Title: Badical
Review: Once Fuzz Townshend was in the band Pop Will Eat Itself. This is the second record from this artist from Birmingham, England. It comes off as being as eclectic as Badly Drawn Boy or Mull Historical Society. Maybe this is Birmingham's answer to that funky Manchester business? Like many artists Fuzz bridges the jazz between folk and electronic music. "Fantasy" sounds like inspired electroclash meets Primal Scream. "Bokka" reminds me of The Stone Roses. "C'mon C'mon" is like girl groups in the sixties. Fuzz likes to evoke all periods of music. He was once part of Bentley Rhythm Ace and seems like a producer of big fat beats a la Fatboy Slim. There is no doubt that a song like "Fashion Boy/Fashion Girl" is a killer. This is a special surprise.(www.freewilliamsburg.com)
