After years of playing guitar in Ty Segall’s myriad projects like Perverts, Ty Segall Band, Fuzz, and recently, GØGGS, Charles Moothart has gone solo with his new band, CFM. It’s no surprise that Moot-hart’s April debut, Still Life of Citrus and Slime, builds off fire-breathing fuzz and serpentine guitar riffs that aren’t unlike what he’s played in the past. CFM lacks the twisted, experimental genius that made Segall’s latest exploit with the Muggers such an acquired taste, but Still Life serves an extra course of the decadently sludgy, guitar-worshipping rock you probably didn’t know you wanted on tracks like “Lunar Heroine.” While Moothart’s record is good, I can personally vouch for CFM’s potency live—they opened for Ty Segall and the Muggers at the Aladdin last January and almost (almost) stole the show from the fuzz king himself.
