Manchester outfit Fuzzy Sun step into a new era with another wonderful genre-defying single ‘Fake It’.
Following a brief hiatus and enforced isolation, the band have made the most of the opportunity to reflect and forge a new identity amidst a tempestuous global backdrop.
Returning in 2021 with their clearest and most defined identity to date, Fuzzy Sun’s melded range of eclectic tastes finds them re-emerging with the band at their genre-defying best.
Speaking about their new direction, vocalist and guitarist Kyle Ross elaborates: “We wanted to make an impact with the new single, pushing a new creative direction for the band, as I think we have really found a sound that excites us and we feel comfortable with.”
Described by Fuzzy Sun as a “real balls to the wall guitar tune with flare” – the self-recorded and produced ‘Fake It’ finds Fuzzy Sun influenced by staple artists including Radiohead, Blur and The Smashing Pumpkins; elevating their anthemic, guitar-driven songwriting with cinematic textures which sit beneath soaring melodies.
“The song itself is about feeling rather disenchanted with society and putting on a brave face when in fact you feel the complete opposite, which is something we can all relate to. It was inspired by a dark time, with the hope of things getting better,” adds Kyle.
As well as the new single, Fuzzy Sun are preparing to drop a new EP later this year and have some live shows this Autumn/Winter. Check them out below.
