Beautiful Scarlet
4 stars Really good debut. Demon Fuzz presents what they wanted to be in a concise 5 track album.

The opening track is an instrumental, the next three are built around singing and the last is also an instrumental.

Track one is just kind of mediocre, compared to the following tracks it's not as amazing. If this track doesn't do it for you I recommend skipping to the second song.

Track two has those soul vocals courtesy of the lead singer who absolutely kills it on this one. Additionally the bridge really adds some meat tot his track to make it excellent.

Track three is a slight dip in quality particularly due to an eastern saxophone lead jam for a bridge. In my opinion it's a neat texture but just goes on for too long.

Track four ups the ante again with the same sublime singing on track two but in a longer package. This one is also excellent and has lovely electric organ.

Track five is a mixed bag (same goes for track three in my opinion). This one starts out neat with the tribal drumming and goes into some good instrumental work for a bit until becoming a repetitive jam. Eventually it returns to the tribal drumming head and the song ends.

Overall this a strong debut and leaves me sad that they never made a proper follow up. While this album is great these guys could do better. (Roots and Offshoots is a studio release of left over material if my memory serves me correctly)
