Album Notes

Raised by wolves in the seventies, Jenya Chernoff (drums, bass, voice) learned to play drums in a secret Scythian cult and is now a veteran of Long Thaw, Mark Growden\'s Electric Pinata, Mumble & Peg, and Dreamland.
Matt Lebofsky (guitar, bass, Warr guitar, keyboards, voice) gained his super powers in 1983 when he was bitten by a radioactive housecat. Now he can play any musical instrument known to guys named Steve. He has no ring fingers, but has an extra pinky on each hand. His past projects include Dreamland, Mumble & Peg, Species Being, JOB, Dropsy, Research & Development, and is also currently in Three Piece Combo, the Immersion Composition Society, and the Fuxedos.
Both share the Chinese astrological sign Metal Dog.

Separately, Matt and Jenya have been sharpening their claws on the gnarled trunks of Oakland\'s underground music scene since the mid-nineties. Together, they were conscripted in 2006 as the back-up band for Faun Fables\' touring production of the Transit Rider, a rock opera taking place on a subway train. They hammered out an opening set and a demo CD, and Fuzzy Cousins was born.

A couple years and one full-length album debut later, Fuzzy Cousins have evolved. Moody and lyrical, the multi-instrumentalist duo strives to ladle from the primal soup an indefinable sound that slowly melts the listener\'s expectations into a warm puddle of glistening mystification.
