The debut solo album from mzmo is a raucous, high-energy, emotionally intense roar of searing fuzz guitar, massive fuzz bass, slicing fuzz synth, and hard grooving drums--a modern distilled interpretation of classic rock that will leave you breathless and slightly dizzy from head banging. Huge singalong choruses balance out the gritty songwriting that will make this your new favorite rock album.

from mzmo:

Earlier in 2023 I decided that I should finally get around to making a solo album, which after 50 years or so of life and living, seemed like probably I should get a move on on doing. I've always been a late bloomer, so unsurprising I suppose.

Doing this album was both easy and hard. Easy because I set parameters on what instruments I would use (FUZZ GUITAR RAWK, and every fuzz pedal I own is on this album somewhere) and I just did what comes naturally to me. Hard because I decided to write lyrics and sing, which does not at all come naturally to me, but that's what a solo album should be, I think, a vulnerable look into what this person thinks of themself at various points in time and space. And so yeah, this is me, turning 50. credits released November 5, 2023
