Black Market Karma are announcing their twelfth studio album ‘Mellowmaker’ and sharing the title-track and lead single Out June 6th, you can pre-order on limited vinyl here

The Fuzz Club store/Membership edition arrives on 180g transparent blue vinyl with alternate inner-sleeve art and signed photo prints - limited to only /350 hand-numbered copies 

Following 2024’s ‘Wobble’, ‘Mellowmaker’ is the second chapter in Black Market Karma’s two-part album series on Fuzz Club. Crafted entirely by Stanley Belton—who writes, records, and produces everything himself—the record embraces analogue imperfections and tape wobble, splicing them with modern techniques to create a “cassette-ified” lo-fi psychedelia blending ’60s pop, ’90s neo-psych, and crunchy hip-hop breakbeats. 

“Mellowmaker was made immediately after Wobble, I kinda see them as two sides of each other”, Belton says. Adding on the title track: “This song is a message to those who deserve more but hold themselves back. It was inspired by a compilation of iconic hip-hop breakbeat samples from the 1960s—I looped one, layering Mellotron flutes, guitar melodies, and vocal lines before replacing the loop with my own live drums, re-amping and doubling them for a rich thud and crunch.” 

Catch the band on tour this spring, including a stop at this year’s Fuzz Club Festival!
