Cambridge’s acclaimed psych-folk quintet Fuzzy Lights return with their fifth album ‘Fen Creatures’, set for release in November via Meadows. Following 2021’s critically lauded ‘Burials’, the band has created their most conceptually ambitious work to date – a meditation on environmental crisis that uses the folklore and history of East Anglia as a lens to examine humanity’s fractured relationship with the natural world.

Musically, the quintet—Rachel Watkins (vocals/violin), Xavier Watkins (guitar/electronics), Chris Rogers (guitar), Daniel Carney (bass), and Mark Blay (drums)—has pushed deeper into experimental drone territories while maintaining the crystalline folk sensibilities that have become their signature. The result is their most atmospheric and immersive work to date, with vast sonic landscapes that mirror the fenland geography they’re documenting.

“…the musical battle between the fuzzy and the light makes Fuzzy Lights special.” MOJO ★★★★

“…a simmering, sinister undercurrent which often explodes with apocalyptic fervour.” SHINDIG ★★★★

“Outstanding. A beguiling, brilliant second LP from the Fenlands band. Like the Dirty Three meeting Low…” UNCUT ★★★★

SUPPORT: Van Coeur - Stark, slow, captivating songs with interweaving guitars, vocals, minimal drums and layered hiss. Like Low covering Earth, or vice-versa.
