Having grown up in Newton, MA, General Fuzz is happy to make his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he recruited a number of talented local live musicians to fill out the electronic sounds on this charming full-length album. (In fact, his website has a detailed 'making-of' page with info on all the collaborators.) Highlights? Well, pedal steel has been a key part of the best chillout for many years now, and 'Warm Steel' is a great example of that in action, while lead-off track 'Eye Heart Knot' has a tremendously evocative, interlocking set of melodies around it. We're proud that the General has let us put this album out on Monotonik - donate to him to help support his art if you dig it, won't you? Download General Fuzz's 'Soulful Filling' in its the entire release form [.ZIP link], stream, or review the track at its Internet Archive release page.
