About

Fuxa (pronounced like the color fuchsia) is made up of former members of equally adventurous Asha Vida and Windy and Carl. Armed with a four-track and a good number of ancient synthesizers, Fuxa have embodied the DIY ethic while managing to create a throwback world filled with humming organs and fluttering, hazy bass while incorporating guitar sounds that turn your insides into velvet. They have also used minimal electronics and funky conga drumming. The band also releases its records on its own Mind Expansion label from its home studio. Fuxa's dedication to appearances is apparent in a cornucopia of limited edition releases, colored vinyl, and hand-cut record sleeves that have made them into (relatively) overnight cult figures. It doesn't hurt that the music's top-notch, either.
