Fuzzy Sun – Money
“Whatever important role in our lives plays money, music is always and will remain the most important and possibly the only way to solve all pressing issues. Listen to the new track -fuzzy Sun- and you will understand how important it is in your life.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Какую бы важную роль в нашей жизни не играл деньги, музыка всегда была и останется самым главным и, возможно единственным способом, чтобы решить все насущные вопросы. Послушайте новый трек -Fuzzy Sun- и вы поймёте, как важна она в вашей жизни.”

Lifted from the EP today is lead new single, 'Money'. The glam-tinged alt-rock number - replete
with ultra-modern electronic undertones - showcases the band's colossal strength as merchants of
raw emotion. This is music to file alongside the likes of Leeds band The Music, Inhaler, and Doves.
Avoiding keeping things overly sweet and psychedelic, the song encases some dark lyrics in its
effervescent sonics. Frontman Kyle Ross cathartically lays into capitalism and the pains he feels it
causes.
"Hey Sonny yeah money's gonna kill your soul" is the key line which inspired the song," says the
singer.
"We all seem to be chasing money and material things. And I think it leaves us empty and
unfulfilled. Despite that, it's just so ingrained in us as a society and it prevails.
Helping ram home the sentiment in the lyrics is the palpable sense of disaffection in the singer's
rabble-rousing voice.
Kyle is the band's spokesperson and de facto leader of Fuzzy Sun. That said, the three-piece band
are very much a unit - a tight live band - and came together to write and record this EP. Like a chef
making a reduction, the band sifted through a catalogue of nearly 30 songs to get to the potent four
tracks that made the cut for their upcoming EP.
That expansive, arena-shaking feel to their sound was helped as they recorded the drums at EVE
studio, where the likes of Metronomy, Everything Everything and The Charlatans have recorded.
The rest of the instrumentation was recorded at their home studio in Stockport and they
self-produced four "big tunes you can really sink your teeth into" (Kyle Ross).
The upcoming EP follows on from their acclaimed self-released EP, Since The Dog Died, which
was released in 2021. Even without label backing, but through determined work ethic and the
strength of their live shows, the rising rockers have opened for some major UK artists, toured
Europe and had sell-out shows across the U.K.
The success thus far is not without thanks to music journalists and broadcasters that have been
championing them along the way. Support from NME’s 100 List, CLASH, DORK, Earmilk, Gigwise,
BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Radio X and Spotify’s New Music Friday UK and Hot New Bands
playlists - to name a few - has been a dream foundation for the band, who have sky high ambitions
and the talent to match.
