Fuzz Club

Fuzz Club is a London based independent record label that focuses on raw, experimental rock 'n' roll. Influenced by genres such as psychedelia, shoegaze, noise, garage, blues, folk and experimentation. The label started in rural Norway during the 24 hour darkness of the Arctic winter and emerged onto the scene in 2012 with their compilation album "The Reverb Conspiracy". This annual release captures the essence of today's underground music scene.

With over 40 releases and around 20 artists under their belt, Fuzz Club has worked with renowned names like Anton Newcombe, Goat, Alan Vega, The Black Angels, Dead Skeletons, A Place to Bury Strangers and The Underground Youth. They believe in putting as much energy and art into the presentation of their records as the bands do into their music. Collaborating with visual artists allows them to create unique and collectible album covers and vinyl.

In addition to their regular releases, Fuzz Club offers super limited edition deluxe versions of select albums. These hand painted, stamped and sealed editions are considered works of art themselves. As a distributor for Fuzz Club records, Cargo Records ensures that these exceptional releases reach fans worldwide.

Lumerians is an Oakland, California-based band founded by Tyler Green, Marc Melzer, Jason Miller and Chris Musgrave. With a unique blend of psychedelic rock and experimental sounds, they have carved out their own distinct sound in the music industry.

Currently consisting of Tyler Green, Marc Melzer, Jason Miller and Chris Musgrave, Lumerians continue to push boundaries with their captivating performances and innovative compositions. Their music takes listeners on a journey through hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric textures.

Having been compared to artists such as Eternal Tapestry, The Myrrors, White Hills and Moon Duo among others, Lumerians have established themselves as pioneers in the psychedelic rock genre. With former members Luis Vasquez and Tony Peluso contributing to their earlier work, the band has evolved over time while maintaining their signature sound.

Up until disbanding last year announced via a social media post saying they “were off to get some smokes” Oakland cosmonauts Lumerians were one of the most prolific and genre-bending bands to reside on the outer edges of contemporary psychedelia. Since their formation 2006 they went on to tour around the world and share the stage with everyone from My Bloody Valentine to Killing Joke and Black Moth Super Rainbow. Constantly evolving, their sound has been known to journey from synthesised ambient excursions to far-out space-rock and kosmische post-punk, often dabbling with touches of dub, free jazz and the works. What might very well be the final Lumerians LP comes in the shape of a new live session recorded for Fuzz Club Records when the band stopped off in London as part of a European tour in 2019. Recorded live at Love Buzz Productions and pressed to 180gm vinyl, Lumerians’ Fuzz Club Session is comprised of four tracks, new and old. Longwave and 'Corkscrew Trepanation are lifted from the band's 2011 Partisan Records-released 'Transmalinna' LP and their 2008 self-titled debut EP, respectively. On this record, though, we hear the songs take on a whole new life.

As well as those reimagined Lumerians cuts, the Fuzz Club Session also features two previously unreleased jams. They describe Light The Beacon as "a snapshot of a piece of music we had been using to open our shows for tours in 2018 and 2019. It started as a simple oscillator drone that would lead into the first song but eventually became a song in and of itself. The song never really had a name, but since we used it as a way to signal the show was beginning and draw people towards the stage, Light the Beacon seemed appropriate for this version." Transmission Overture, on the other hand, was a spontaneous composition that they'd never played before and haven't since: "This is basically the process by which we wrote all of our songs. We'd record our improvisations, listen back and then select the parts that stood out most and learn how to play it again. Some seemed so fully formed out of the gate that we'd call them "transmissions" as documented on our 'Transmissions from Telos EP series."
