Sulatron Records is proud to announce the release of a very promising new band in the scene, which is like a melting pot of the current and old psychedelic-kraut-noise scene in Germany! And this Krautfuzz album is nothing less than a super intense psychedelic noise fest with guitarlegend J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.! The improvisational band Krautfuzz, with Imari Kokubo on drums, Dirk Dresselhaus on guitar and occasional vocals, and Derek Shirley on bass, is embossed by an angular-futuristic tension, spanning from fuzzed-out neo-psych-rock, abstract, heavily processed minimalism to pure noise, and is open at the fringes, which also means that they usually invite surprise guests from diverse musical backgrounds for their live shows to play energetic, dynamic, and time-transcending music without a safety net while giving some extra attention to communication in-between each other as well as to the individual subconsciousness. Illustrious guest performers so far were Murat Ertel (Baba Zula), experimental sax player André Vida, Eleni Poulou (ex-The Fall) and Hilary Jeffery (Zeitkratzer), Xambuca's Chandra Shukla on processed e-sitar, and J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), who contributed a bunch of his outstanding electric guitar performances in the second part of this live recording, which organically blend into the transcendental sound approach of Krautfuzz. As the three core members come from a variety of musical activities with the likes of Schneider TM, Faust, Die ANGEL, Locust Fudge, The Still, Monno, Vladislav Delay Quartet, Piratezombiedog or Hi-Speed Dubbing, the premise is to reduce stylistic concepts to their essence, implement moments of CHANCE and allow inspiration from unexpected styles such as contemporary classical or stochastic music. What started with occasional studio sessions in late 2022 has so far led to 5 regular Krautfuzz releases and some live shows that left enthusiastic audiences behind. Performed and recorded live on June 15th 2024 at Ev. Kirchengemeinde Genezareth, Berlin. Live mix and recording: Jaike Stambach. Studio mix: Dirk Dresselhaus (@ ZONE, Berlin). Mastering: Jan Fabritius. Cover layout and art: iLan katin. Photography: Clydell Heidrich. Comes on black 180 grams recycled wax made in Germany, limited to 500 copies!
