The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz is the third studio album by American psychedelic rock band Radio Moscow. Released on October 11, 2011, it was recorded, mixed and mastered at California's Prairie Sun Recording Studios, produced by frontman Parker Griggs. com describes Radio Moscow as "an old-style power trio with an overload of psychedelic headspace, structured around guitarist Parker Griggs whose exemplary six-string work carves sonic holes

Radio Moscow later released their third album The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz in October 2011. A previously unreleased album entitled 3 & 3 Quarters, recorded in 2003 and featuring Griggs only, was released in April 2012. During a concert in support of the album, a physical confrontation erupted on stage involving Parker and drummer, Berry, in which a guitar was thrown. Bassist Billy Ellsworth left the band in July, and was replaced with Anthony Meier. On July 15, 2013 the band announced that they were happy with the progress of their new album and planned to 'road test' them in Europe. On December 11, 2013 it was announced that the band was set to begin recording their latest album that month.

Chaotic from start to finish, Radio Moscow's third album Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz is all about playing vintage riffs as hard and fast as possible. The group takes the fundamentals of garage and blues-rock, and pushes them to the max with on-stage energy. The only thing is, they aren’t a group at all. With the exception of the bass parts handled by bassist Zack Anderson, Parker Griggs plays every instrument on the record. His hyperactive drumming and screaming, wah-wah fuzz guitar solos are beyond showy, and he’s a powerful singer to boot, with his beefy yet tuneful growl.

Songs start at USD . 9. Basically a duo led by skilled calist Parker Griggs (joined here by bassist Zack Anderson), Radio Moscow churns up a roiling stew of psych- and blues-soaked rock ’n’ roll that sounds so authentic you expect whiffs of patchouli and pot smoke to waft from the speakers. Griggs has a gravelly, soulful voice belying his relative youth, and his guitarwork ranges from showy and flamethrowing to fluid and quietly confident. The Great Escape boogies, crunches, and stomps, and it roars with passion for a sound long out of vogue

Listening to Great Escape, it’s easy to see the attraction. Tonally, Griggs’ guitar parts run the vintage gamut. The album begins with Little Eyes and its swirling, Hendrix-inspired leads propelled by fat, relentlessly boogying bass lines that sound like they’re straight out of an insanely tight set at Woodstock circa ’69. Misleading Me intertwines skanky, Delta-blues-style acoustics and Iommi-esque riffing, while No Time begins with echoing slide that sounds like plaintive seagull cries and features an off-kilter, Leslie-driven solo

Radio Moscow and their latest album "The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz," the band's third, belongs to the former category with a few snippets of the latter. Radio Moscow's influences are obvious; Hendrix, Cream, Sabbath, Zeppelin or for the rock snobs out there Blue Cheer, the Groundhogs, and Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac. The music on Magnafuzz continues this tradition with enough originality to rescue it from being an orthodox recreation of the past. While the album does expand on Radio Moscow's two previous albums by upping the ante on energy and psychedelics it isn't "Exile On Main Street. Like their other albums it will probably never be considered as an all time classic, partly because it will only be heard by a tiny fraction of humanity, but mostly because it lacks variety and it's just not revolutionary or original enough to change the face of music.
