Doug Tuttle

2014 solo release from the former guitarist for New Hampshire Psych outfit MMOSS. As one of the principal songwriters in MMOSS, Tuttle was integral in honing that band's signature sound of West Coast bummer harmonies wrapped taut around a sinewy and dreamy collision of hazy Psychedelia and motorik Krautrock. As the band dissolved, Tuttle began writing his way through the haze. There is definitely a bittersweet narrative going on throughout the record but with the strength of every single track the listener becomes the willing accomplice. Tuttle deftly forges a sound that all his, weaving nebulous jams into masterfully crafted pop gems. There is also heavy introspection here leading one to consider other artists who were terrific as the member of a band but that really excelled when they began releasing material under their own name.
