    "comment": "King Tuff will be touring with Morgan Nagler on the following dates!  5/02 - San Francisco, CA @ The Chapel\n5/04 - Seattle, WA @ Barboza\n5/05 - Portland, OR @ Mississippi Studios\n\nKyle Thomas, the psychedelic garage rocker who goes by the name King Tuff, is coming back with a new album this spring, and he's calling it MOO.  Thomas recorded the follow-up to 2023's Smalltown Stardust after moving back to his Burlington, Vermont hometown.\n\nOf the album, Thomas remarks, \"I stopped caring if there were mistakes. There’s not enough mistakes. I wish it sounded even worse.  Rock & Roll is the music of rodents and bugs. It should sound like it crept from a decrepit trashcan or a crypt or a toilet. It is not chill or vibey, autotuned or on the grid. It is not perfect, which is why it’s perfect. And I don’t care if it’s dead or alive, cool or uncool: when I hear it, and when I play it, as a chubby and balding 43 year old punk weirdo, I FEEL ENERGIZED.\"\n\nAnd, of this track, he reveals, \"I wrote and recorded the whole dang song in the span of a few hours, which was basically the opposite of how I had been working in the computer. Spending hours moving waveforms around like a zombie, comping vocals, second guessing, trying to make things sound not lifeless, trying to make anything sound good at all, took months. But here on the tape, it was so much more alive. More like painting or collaging. More like making actual music. Every move I made stuck like super glue. It was effortless. It was pure joy.\" https://tinyurl.com/yuhcm9ke",
