"MOO finds Thomas getting back to where he once belonged, capturing a glorious noise at home on his eight-track. That's how he made his blissfully fuzzed-out early records."
"The album opens with 'Twisted on a Train,' which kicks like a mule until being usurped by the AOR windmills of 'Stairway to Nowhere.'"
"Still, Thomas doesn't fully shake off the years when he played music with light and shade. He adds space and dimension to every track on MOO, giving each one a distinct personality."
"MOO made the conclusion that I was an elf again. After years of confusion I felt like myself again."
MOO represents a return to form for King Tuff, also known as Kyle Thomas, who reconnects with his garage-punk roots. After exploring softer sounds in Los Angeles, he retreated to Mt. Washington to create this album with close collaborators. The record features sharp hooks and loud amps, reminiscent of his earlier work. Each track on MOO showcases a distinct personality, balancing distortion with space. The album opens with energetic tracks that blend various influences, highlighting Thomas's growth while honoring his musical past.
