Fuzzy (album) explained

Fuzzy is the debut studio album by American rock band Grant Lee Buffalo, released in 1993 by Slash Records.^[3] According to the band's website, "Fuzzy would galvanize the sound of Grant Lee Buffalo, i.e., the acoustic feedback howl of overdriven 12-string guitars, melodic distorto-bass, tribal drum bombast, the old world churn of pump organs and parlor pianos."^[4]

R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe praised Fuzzy as "the best album of the year hands down".^[4] Noel Gallagher of English rock band Oasis revealed in 2022 that the title track was an influence on the band's 1995 hit "Some Might Say".^[5]

Critical reception

The Indianapolis Star wrote that "Phillips is decidedly melancholy, be it with nice acoustic melodies ('The Hook') or ear-shredding guitar numbers ('Jupiter and Teardrop')."^[6]
