MUZZ Schallplatten & CDs

Review: It's always exciting when some of your favourite artists announce a new musical project. Clearly, then, we were pretty excited about Muzz. Featuring Interpol's Paul Banks, Josh '1/3 of Bonny Light Horseman' Kaufman and Matt Barrick (see: The Walkmen, Fleet Foxes touring band), if the total is equal to the sum of those parts then we should be in for a treat. Not a let down in earshot, all 12 tracks are immediately enthralling. 'Evergreen' and its sombre, reflective guitar strokes combined with subtle electronic effects. The massive, scuzzy rock 'n' roll of 'Knuckleduster'. The heart-wrenching crooning of 'All Is Dead To Me'. A work of many layers, it's a soulful and immersive thing packed with an incredible amount of feeling, and made possible by an incredible level of talent.
