Demon Fuzz - Afreaka! (2017 Reissue)
- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -
Formed by a group of talented Caribbean immigrants, Demon Fuzz (slang for “devil’s children” or “bad policemen”) was one of the most criminally underrated and creatively unique bands to have come out of the London scene in the late-1960s and early-1970s. While their tenure was short, their legacy lives on with their enduringly cool 1970 release Afreaka!.
Demon Fuzz’s one and only album was a wild fusion of their members’ influences in West African music, calypso, soul, jazz, funk and ska - alongside hypnotic strains of psychedelic soul and prog rock. The resulting hot mess of infectious grooves and snaking instrumentals coalesced into vigorous and vibrant semi-improvised jams that will expand your mind. This obscure masterpiece of Afro rock and freaky jazz juju is a must-have. — The Analog Vault
