New album for the Italian garage fuzz riffers!
As always, we decided to do our own thing. We’re just so over the same old tired riffs and worn-out stoner vibes, like
a pair of Birkenstocks at an indie concert, and let’s not even start on those “super interesting” lyrics about how to
smoke weed (seriously, tell us more!). So here we are at a crossroad: should we just follow the crowd and do what
everyone else is doing, or should we put in the hard work to create something that actually makes us happy while we
play it? Well, here’s Melting Pop! It’s not stoner, it’s not garage, it’s not punk, it’s not psych, it’s not even a
traditional album. It’s melting, a blend of FVZZ POPVLI saying “screw the labels” and just going with the flow, all
natural, like grown-ups with no preservatives.
Take “Temple of Doom,” for example. We love Indiana Jones, so we wrote a track about Indy himself, fighting the
bad guys and always coming out on top. It fills us with hope for the world we live in, which could really use some.
Then there’s “Telephone.” Man, these damn smartphones have us all wrapped around them—they're our partners in
fun and sadness, helping us score dates and often doing way more than they were ever meant to. And for the hungry
souls, they can even double as warm plates!
Next up, we have “Salty Biscuits,” which is a made-up food that represents what everyone’s searching for: booze,
drugs, love, success, wealth. In the end, it’s all pointless—the quest for perfection is always a dead end. So why not
let loose and get your eardrums fuzzed out? It’s danceable and even features four bars of cowbell for enthusiasts!
We close Side A with “Erotik Fuel P.I.M.P.” This one’s based on a sadly true story that happened at a gas station in
Italy, we will not say which company—just the main colors: blue and orange.
We see it as a love story told by the protagonist himself. A lonely love story, sure, but passionate like any respectable
romance. Let’s not judge; maybe we just don’t get it. Better to fill up, pay and move on. Side B kicks off with
“Kommando,” inspired by the action movie of the same name featuring good ol’ Arnold S. (we threw in the K to play
cool and to avoid legal issues). We’re really attached to this track since it was the first one written for Melting Pop.
The final guitar solo was probably the most fun to record—like a battle between good and evil.
“Let’s throw in a doom track!” So we did! With “Ouija,” we’re calling up the trapped spirits to find out why it’s such a
mess down here while they’re living the dream with no traffic jams up there. Maybe there really is a God deciding
who stays and who gets a vacation in the afterlife. Next is “Cop Sacher,” possibly our favorite title. The combo of cop
and cake is already funny, and of course, there are kicks and punches involved, like in any good showdown. No
offense to anyone in law enforcement, but let’s be real—you’re not winning any popularity contests, especially when
you abuse your badge. In the chaos, no one really wins or loses, but hey, at least we fought for a good cause! We
wrap up this wild ride with “The Knight,” a key figure in our cultural development. We can’t name names for
marketing reasons, but let’s just say he did a lot for our beloved Italy—and for himself, too. Now he’s gone, leaving a
huge void and a lot of trauma to sort through. If you want to know who it is, slide into our DMs! Hope this little
rundown gives you a glimpse into what went through our heads while making Melting Pop. You might’ve noticed we
talked about a lot of things but not much about the music itself. Not because what you read is more important than
what we played, but because we think it’s pointless to describe something you can already experience through its
own language. And honestly, we’d rather you listen and form your own ideas about what FVZZ POPVLI is all about in
Melting Pop.
