About

For a record that loosely tackles themes of mind control, <i>I’m In Your Mind Fuzz</i> is a gloriously off-kilter romp that may at times bend the minds of its listeners. A densely constructed race through garage rock, ’60s psychedelia, blues, krautrock, and whatever other genre the Australian band happen to find interesting for a few seconds, the “mind fuzz” in the title is a reference to those who preach reptilian and alien conspiracy theories and believe fluoride in the water is a government-enforced mind-control tool. Such flights of fantasy are supported by equally fantastic musical escapades, with the opening four tracks segueing into one another to form a 12-minute suite that thunders along with krautrock-inspired motorik propulsion, wailing effects-laden harmonica, and hypnotic guitar freak-outs. Recorded partly in Brooklyn’s famed Daptone Studios, during its final three tracks the album’s breakneck pace is replaced by a more languid—yet no less experimental—approach, with closing track “Her and I (Slow Jam 2)” channeling The Doors’ “Riders on the Storm” as vocalist Stu Mackenzie exposes his romantic side: “I’ll fill her heart with a lot of love/So the sun can shine a little brighter.”
