The guys in Fu have faithfully adhered to their trademark psychedelic stoner sound since the 1990s: roaring, drawn-out, ultra-heavy riffs, smooth, Sabbath style basslines, powerful, no-frills drumming, and the unmistakable vocals of Scott Hill, which are always delivered with a California surfer dude’s cool nonchalance. Like AC/DC, Fu Manchu know their place; they certainly know that few bands, if any, do this live as well as they do, and they’re aware that all their fans ask of them are some consistently fun driving tunes. Fu Manchu remain true to their promise with their latest album, Gigantoid. Unsurprisingly, it’s vintage Fu, with superfuzzed guitars and Hill’s cockeyed vocals providing the post-rip glow that the band have built their career upon.
