The Fuzzies are an alternative pop trio with more hooks than a chilli barb. Named after their big fuzzy tones, they are no slouches in the songwriting department either. After playing dozens of shows over the last five years, The Fuzzies have also been using this time to put together their debut album Cupid.
Led alternately by the vocals of Niki Maera (Mary) and Kelly Michael (Tabula Rasa [with Chris Heazelwood], Enshrine), with Andrew Maitai (Powertool Records, Joed Out) on drums, they mix warm fuzzies with darker undertones to create their own brand of classic indie-pop.
Cupid's cover is very special, as it captures a design created by the late Hamish Kilgour, who spent the first Covid lockdown with The Fuzzies at their venue/headquarters UFO, in the West Auckland suburb of New Lynn. Each day Hamish would create a new display somewhere in the building, which Niki would photograph. The band wanted to pay tribute to Hamish with their album, so they selected this image for the cover (and this is well before the Barbie movie came out!)
The Cupid album was recorded to analogue tape by Darren McShane at Earwig Studios, and the vinyl version – which plays at 45RPM – was one of the first to come from the brand new Stebbing record press.
Graham Reid (Elsewhere/NZ Listener) says of the album, "The Fuzzies have a smart line in jangle-drone throughout, and fuzzed up guitars as befits their name. Cupid is a collection of mostly previously drip-fed material but to get them all in the one place is a real treat. They are minimal and direct, and the less Kelly sounds like he cares, the better they are. Well worth checking out...Clearly their time is now."
