R.M.F.C. – Club Hits

R.M.F.C. aka Rock Music Fan Club is the brain child of Buz Clatworthy, who writes, performs and records all of the groups output himself in his bedroom in South-east NSW. The project began in late 2018 after showing a friend a demo, in which they encouraged a proper release.

While these recordings have some of the trappings of quick paced punk rock, that concept eventually breaks down over the arc of the album. The first four tracks feel connected, even a mini suite in a classical music sense, with tiny micro movements. The pace of the excellent “Spectrum” flows perfectly into “Sterile Century” and “The Trap” with danceable ease.

The album cover perfectly embodies the feel and sense of these tracks. Try not to dance (or at least tap your toe)! Clatworthy’s crunchy twelve string guitar, along with the sometimes synth arrangements, have a quasi-harpsichord tone with an edge to it. It feels foreign and slightly sunny. It feels just right.
