Description:

In case you haven't heard, one of LA's finest garage-psych aficionados, Charles Moothart (best known for his work with Ty Segall and Fuzz), is preparing to release his new "apocalyptic pop" record, Black Holes Don't Choke, releasing March 8th via In The Red Records. Wondering if you would be down to interview him on his new LP this week :) Let me know what you think of the LP! 
Chock-full of fuzzed out guitars and swirling synthesizers, Moothart's upcoming record is bursting with psychedelic surprises, with a varied sonic approach that sees him touch all corners of the psych-rock genre. If you like what you hear, I would love discuss coverage and/or help set up some kind of fun, feature/interview/review surrounding the record's release.
For more context: Black Holes Don't Choke is meant to be a present meditation. It was written, recorded, and mixed entirely by Charles Moothart in his Los Angeles studio, and he plays all of the music heard on the album. The implementation of samplers is a noteworthy development as well as the general inclusion of more electronic elements.The album reflects the here and now. It embraces the elements and sounds of the present without glamorizing any tense - past, present, or future. It conveys a feeling of chaotic love and empowerment within a time of existential turmoil - aiming to lift up what positives exist in a world riddled with toxicity and complexity.
Today, LA garage-psych maestro Charles Moothart (formerly CFM) is releasing his new LP, Black Holes Don't Choke. Announced at the beginning of December, Moothart has shared a host of singles from the record, which includes today's focus track, "Hold On". Moothart's signature heavy fuzz is still present, however it takes a bit of a backseat to his newly-present vocals as they swing across the track, building to the tracks infectious, titular chorus.

The production of the Black Holes Don't Choke is another area of artistic growth. Due to a love for classic hip hop as well as a desire to deepen his creative language, Moothart spent recent years looking in to the world of sampling and sequencing. On top of this, he has been working to hone his engineering and mixing abilities through his own projects, as well as collaborating with peers in different studios. This combination of elements created a new atmosphere for Moothart's song writing to evolve within.
