The Fuzztones
Lysergic Emanations

Descripción

Reeditado por Radiation Records el pasado 13 de Septiembre de 2024 «Lysergic Emanations» es el título del álbum debut de la banda estadounidense de garage rock procedente de Nueva York The Fuzztones. Lanzado originalmente en 1985 por ABC Records «Lysergic Emanations» está considerado el disco cumbre de la formación liderada por Rudi Protrudi y por extensión de la década de los 80. Junto a las míticas versiones de The Sonics, The Yardbirds o Sonny Boy Williamson composiciones propias como «Highway 69» o «She’s Wicked» que engrandecen un trabajo oscuro y enérgico.

The Fuzztones’ sophomore set Lysergic Emanations is often hailed as the best album that the garage rock band ever released. As with their debut album, the disc mixes cover versions of obscure 1960s garage rock tracks with some inspired original work, and this one benefitted from being cut in the studio, allowing us to hear the group in full-spectrum stereo, without the noisy distractions of a live setting. Keen covers of songs by the Sonics, the Yardbirds and Sonny Boy Williamson are rendered in their own image and the originals sound totally on form too. Lysergic Emanations is the Fuzztones’ pinnacle – totally superb!
