Fuzz Club

Taking a step away from brain-frying space-rock/psych wig-outs harnessed in their 15 years playing together in Lumerians (who broke up in 2020), the duo describe Wet Satin as “An expression of reverence and enthusiasm growing from a long-time shared obsession with lost Cosmic Disco, Cumbia, Afrofunk and Library Music records.”…
