Otu – Fuzzy Tunes

 

 

Otu – Fuzzy Tunes
Self released – 2022
Rock, Stoner, Metal
Rated: ***

This guy has done what has always been lingering fantasy somewhere in those dark recesses of my mind. Sure; my thoughts would be to either form the Desert Monkeys and just do stonerrock versions of Arctic Monkeys songs. Or form a stonerrock cover band to stonerize other songs that have nothing to do with heavy rock. Well, the guy behind Moonic Productions, has named his project Otu and has delivered an excellently produced stonerrock album with 13 stoner songs called Fuzzy Tunes. You might also know him from the vocals he provided for Headless Monarch or his other band Kaiser. But Otu and Fuzzy Tunes is just the man himself. We must confess though that some of the tracks feel a little unnecessary or a bit too much like the original. But the album is already worth it because of the White Stripes cover Fell In Love With A Girl. A great version; all Kyuss’d up! The same can be said about Nirvana’s You Know You’re Right and a High On Fire take of Iron Maiden’s Gangland. Amazing how he can do it all; those different styles of vocals; the different styles of metal and stoner. Damn freakin cool! Here’s to Otu! Kippis!
