Cardinal Fuzz Recordings

THIS FRIDAY PRESALES CELESTIAL POWER. The Debut LP released by Cardinal Fuzz (UK) & Feeding Tube Records (USA) @feedingtuberecords_rozztoxart Presented in a hand stamped metallic copper ink (front and back) print on a black card sleeve with insert. Recorded during downtime but sounding anything but casual, Celestial Power emerged when @dead_sea_apes ’ Brett Savage and Chris Hardman linked synaptic overload with Cardinal Fuzz’s own Dave Cambridge to form a three-headed amplifier cult. Heavy, raw, and deeply resonant, this is music that embraces volume, repetition, and the beauty of imperfection. What they’ve summoned is a sprawling liturgy of overdriven guitar mantras: brutal, blown-out, and gloriously repetitive. Imagine the Velvet Underground locked in a warehouse mainlining the kosmische pulse of some forgotten Krautrock commune while Bardo Pond’s ash-coated spirit hovers overhead, scattering embers into a storm of PSF-style amplifier abuse. Not so much songs as tectonic events. Not riffs, but rituals. This thing doesn’t purr it howls. You hear the room breathing. You hear amplifiers gasping as they’re pushed past mercy, past design, into some ecstatic mechanical breakdown. Every repetition drills deeper, pushing beyond the horizon line until time itself starts peeling back in sheets. And that’s the point. This is repetition as revelation. Volume as transcendence. Human hands wrestling raw electricity into shape, then losing control of it entirely. On “Mandate Of Heaven,” the circle widens with the arrival of Nik Rayne @themyrrors , adding another dimension to the ritual, a desert prophet stepping into the feedback storm, pushing the album’s gravitational pull even further into the void. No compromise. No softening. No edges filed off. Just pure voltage, scorched earth repetition, and the kind of heavy psychedelic communion that feels less like listening and more like surviving. Step inside. Bring ear protection. Or don’t. @wwwaterdamage Repressing News Very pleased to inform you that Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and @12xurecs (USA) have repressed Instruments (2xLP) & Live at Le Guess Who? On Pre-Sale this Friday.

genuinely touched by this review written by Lucy Cage 🙏❤ "What sets Bhajan Bhoy’s music-as-healing aside from most is its grain, its rootedness in the concrète. There’s nothing clinical about its therapeutic intent. Each of the tracks manages to find beauty and calm within the swirl, and it’s this intensely human, patient and inclusive side to meditative practice that I find both touching and effective". -Lucy Cage- .uk/reviews/bhajan-bhoy-meditations/

MESSAGE FROM CARDINAL DAVE. Dear Keepers of the Sacred Groove, Things at Cardinal Fuzz HQ are about to get gloriously busy again after my sabbatical. The world outside remains its usual carnival of collapsing headlines, political hatred and billionaires trying to reinvent human misery with better branding, here in our corner we try to somehow fight back with some sonic resistance. First up @nightrites return with a special Aussie Record Store Day repress of Nine Of Swords, housed in 3 unique gloss laminated outer sleeves. Three distinct artifacts for the discerning collector.US/NA @littlecloudrecords ✌️ Then comes Self-Immolation Music with a swish repress of Strange Worship presented in a stunning 60s style flipback gloss laminated sleeve and strictly limited to just 38 copies. The Cardinal Fuzz Test Pressing Series. Uber uber ltd. Unique sleeves. Singular relics for the true heads. In an age determined to make everything temporary, we continue pressing tangible magic. AND Finally the Cardinal Fuzz Evil Mickey Mouse T-Shirt, a wearable nervous breakdown. A psychotic sermon for the garage-gospel faithful & the freaks. Stay sharp. Stay strange. Stay ready. The storm is coming. With fuzzed-out devotion @cardinalfuzz BANDCAMP AND BIG CARTEL IN BIO!

So so lovely....and totally unexpected....to get a big up from Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) on Radcliffe & Maconie's show on BBC 6 Music a week ago. You can hear it here....

Message board at WFMU was warm and fuzzy on Tuesday. Thanks to @creamocoyl for airplay of two LPs that came out on 17 April. He’s a good egg. Plus his show is one that I will listen to every week…lad is dialled in

hey folks. My UK tour continues...and here is a quick reminder that the show on Monday 20 April in Manchester at The Peer Hat, is a show that I am putting on myself. That means I'm running the whole shebang from putting on the show, promoting it, doing the door, and playing! So it would be really great if folks came out to the show and supported the artists (Zandra is an incredible singer - songwriter from Todmorden who you dont want to miss).

BHAJAN BHOY - Meditations LP Co-Release with #CardinalFuzz On Meditations, Bhajan Bhoy presents four expansive, deeply immersive compositions that slowly open and unfurl across the album’s duration. Length here is incidental; what matters is the total listening experience. These pieces move with patience and grace, drawing the listener into a blessed, inward journey. The result is a remarkable record—equally cinematic, intimate, and richly evocative. Drawing from folk traditions, ambient synthesis, ethereal guitar work, and deep listening practices, Meditations creates a world of textural depth and microscopic wonder. The album’s wide-ranging instrumentation—accordion, piano, yangqin, synthesisers, guitar and bass, banjo, and harp—highlights Bhajan Bhoy’s imaginative and searching compositional approach. Each sound feels carefully placed, allowing space, resonance, and atmosphere to guide the music’s emotional weight. There is a quiet power running throughout Meditations: a sense of stillness that never drifts into stasis, and beauty that reveals itself gradually. These are pieces that reward patience and presence, offering something profound to the deep listener. “These tracks served as a series of spiritual prayers when I recorded them,” says Ajay Saggar (Bhajan Bhoy). “They became even more important to me later, as personal changes occurred in my life from mid-2025 onwards, and the real power and beauty of the tracks came to the fore—helping me heal in my body and in my mind.” Meditations is a meditative, enchanting work—music as refuge, reflection, and renewal.

It's my mum's birthday today....woohoo!!! And it's also the official release day of not one, but two, Bhajan Bhoy albums...."Meditations" and "Live At Le Guess Who?" (I've never released two albums one one day before). Here I am with mum and dad, holding the wares. And don't worry, I gave my mum a lovely present and some flowers (and didn't fob her off with the 2 LPs....although my mum and dad always get my releases).

Coming Soon Celestial Power (Cardinal Fuzz / @feedingtuberecords_rozztoxart ) 'A couple of years back now, our Jack's partner Liz was seriously ill. It looked really scary. Jack took some time off to be with Liz. Family first always. Luckily Liz is doing fantastic now - but it was really serious. Both Chris and I kept the 'home fires burning' by doing little bits of recording etc. One week, we invited Dave Cambridge to come and have a play with us. The results were these pretty blown out jams that to me, bring to mind a Velvetsy/Krauty commune rock with the intensity of PSF recordings. We loved them a lot and wondered what to do with them. A few more years previous, I had Nik from @themyrrors over for an extended stay and he came to the practice room for a jam. All of this is now collected as Celestial Power. Its pretty wild stuff but I'm really happy with it all. Its so good to make music with your dear friends and to be pleased with the results'. - Brett Savage @dead_sea_apes Guitar - Brett Savage 12 String Guitar - Dave Cambridge Guitar - Nik Rayne (B1) Drums - Chris Hardman

my BHAJAN BHOY tour starts next week. To say that I'm excited about it is an understatement. It feels like a victory. I will release two LPs on Friday 17 April which I will have with me at the merch table each night. It would be great if people came out to the shows, not just to support me, but come and check out the amazing and very talented acts that I will be playing alongside. But more importantly....please support the grassroots promoters and venues who do such an amazing job of bringing great music to their communities. They are the real heroes. Support yr local scene.
