This is the second release as Spuzz Jams. This album consists of snippets taken from many different jams throughout early 2013 through the Spring of 2014, and if I had to compare it to anything, I would say it is most like Emperors of Gnouv's Oh Baby New Year album, but a slightly more mature version. Like most of our improvisational music, this album features a lot of different musicians playing multiple instruments. I spent weeks on the post production overdubs, drones, samples, etc. The result is an eclectic group of songs that span fusion, post-rock, psychedelic rock, space rock, odd time signatures, and other weird stuff anyone familiar with Gnouv music would be accustomed to hearing. Enjoy!

1) Skidaleedoo

5) Mania Intro
6) Mania

Spuzz Jams Vol. 1 - Cinnamon Synonym Pseudonym
FREE DOWNLOAD!!
This album was recorded in the cabin up in Big Bear - our third consecutive summer with a third consecutive album up at the cabin. For minanim and myself, this album explored a darker spectrum of emotions than the more celebratory, happy-go-lucky kind of music from Germish Sperman and Meals of Oblivion from 2011 and 2012 respectively, since each one of us were going through some things in our lives at the time. The music took on a glassy and dark atmosphere, which I think is pretty apparent to the listener when hearing it. The music is 100% improvised, and features some members from Emperors of Gnouv (James, minanim, Mica, and myself. Also featuring Neifs on synthesizers. Renz "Balla-G" Balagtas did the album art and Layne Scheiner did the graphics). Enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think.
Tracks:
1) Intro - Sonic Droplets
2) Synonym
3) Interlude - Darkstar
4) Pseudonym I
5) Pseudonym II
6) Pseudonym III
7) Pseudonym IV
8) PseudonymV
9) Pseudonym VI
10) Interlude - Under Blue Glass
11) Cinnamon I
12) Cinnamon II
13) Cinnamon III
14) Outro - Human Headed Rooster

The Emperors of Gnouv
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD/STREAM FROM BANDCAMP!!
This album came from three recorded jams from March. This music is entirely improvised! Nothing was planned out ahead of time - we simply plugged in, and played. I feel like on all three sessions, our band was totally on. While small groups of us had been playing together in different parts of California and in different bands, we hadn't played all together as a unit in three months or so, and when we all got together, the music exploded! Enjoy this recording, and look for future albums and shows from the Emperors of Gnouv!!
Track Listing:
1) Intro - Premonition
2) Crash Landing in a Dark Forest
3) Shrouded Moonlight Rendezvous
4) The Badland Brigade
5) Interlude - Let's Turn On
6) Figz Fury
7) Interlude - Stasis
8) An Easy Mark
*9) Outro - Geodesic
