TRUCKFIGHTERS The Chairman Special EP Vinyl (2013)

Swedish fuzz trio Truckfighters have been turning amplifiers into enemies since the late nineties, and The Chairman Special EP from 2013 is exactly the kind of side-road detour that makes obsessive record collecting worth it. Four tracks of sun-baked desert rock from a band who treat the fuzz pedal as a religious object.

If Orange Goblin taught you that volume is a moral position and Nebula showed you the cosmos through a broken speaker cone, Truckfighters are the logical next stop. This limited edition desert coloured vinyl pressing looks like it was dug up somewhere outside Joshua Tree and sounds about as warm and crushing as that implies. Essential for anyone building a serious psych, stoner, or alternative rock shelf.
