Trouble In Mind
May 28, 2014 Web Exclusive
Hazy psychedelia is the catchphrase for former MMOSS frontman Doug Tuttle‘s self-titled solo debut. Written at the tail end of MMOSS’ disbandment as well as the dissolving of Tuttle’s personal relationship, this highly personal work is representative of the atmospheric leanings of the former and the separation of the latter. A six-string guitar master, Tuttle coaxes that instrument into a pliable, tangible mass that the listener can mentally pull and poke while listening to these wandering, introspective, hallucinogenic jams—case in point, the epic “Turn This Love.” Distorted, keening vocals on “Where You Plant Your Love…Is Where It Grows” hint at the mourning period not quite being over, even if the jangles of guitars attempt to drown out the sad cries. In contrast, “We Could Live” sounds gently happy, like Tuttle wrote it sitting and strumming in a meadow. Doug Tuttle carries much of MMOSS’ fuzzy nostalgia—it just does it through a one-man show.
