Muff Cult by Muff Cult

This debut album by the Israeli alternative rock band "Muff Cult" features nine original songs both in English and Hebrew. The album pays tribute to a great musician and a close friend- Yoni Maron, who passed away on October 2nd 2019 at the age of 45, after a long battle with ALS. Some of the lyrics and melodies on this album were written by him.
In creating this album we collaborated with some of our friends, also well-known Israeli musicians: Maor Cohen, Shachar Even-Zur & Sharon Cantor. All songs on this album are composed and performed with varying alternative guitar tunings, and each song is played with a different guitar tuning. Most of the tunings are based on string doublings and perfect fifths between open strings. A technique style well associated with Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth.

Muff Cult is a two-man alternative rock band. Yuval Kainer plays the drums, and Aviv Pappo is the lead vocalist who also plays bass and electric guitars. Through the use of varying alternative guitar tunings and other techniques Muff Cult presents a unique approach to sonoric and musical textures.
