Description

The guru King Tuff is back with a cosmic album! King Tuff produced the record himself and collaborated with Shawn Everett (War on Drugs, Alabama Shakes) on the mixing. No less catchy than his previous albums, the new tracks abandon the tales of rock-and-roll orgies to embrace expansive arrangements, a diversity of instrumentation, and lyrics that aim to reconnect us with that childlike and creative part of ourselves, not yet eaten away by cynicism. The album features Ty Segall on drums, Jenny Lewis and Greta Morgan on vocals, as well as Mikal Cronin on saxophone. Thomas views the experience of this recording as a kind of psychic reset process. "I let the songs take me where they wanted to go, instead of trying to push them into a certain zone. King Tuff has always been assumed to be just me when I started, as a teenager, that was all I wanted. King Tuff was never meant to be just one thing, it was supposed to be everything."
