FUZZ Share New Single ‘Mirror’
Over the summer, FUZZ announced III, their first new album in five years. Today, they shared the record’s third single, “Mirror,” along with a pretty creepy music video. The visuals splice footage of the band’s members — Ty Segall, Chad Ubovich and Charles Moothart — rocking out with some bizarre imagery, like Segall eating an eyeball that in turn makes his face disappear. Director Joshua Erkman described the thought behind the eerie video in a statement: In an abstract way I wanted to incorporate some of the thoughts that have been swimming around in my head about isolation; it’s pretty hard to avoid thinking about that these days,” says Erkman. “Making the video was an exciting challenge given our current circumstances – how do you shoot a rock ‘n’ roll band performin...
FUZZ Release Guitar-Laden Single ‘Spit’

In July, the trio shared “Returning” and now, the second song from that upcoming collection has emerged. “Spit” is a smattering of guitars that channels vintage ’90s alt and classic garage rock (and all of the great aspects of both genres) and dirt-under -your-fingernails grit, which makes perfect sense since they had Steve Albini mix the album. The video for the clip was created by Moothart, who used his quarantine time wisely and learned how to make stop-motion videos. Here’s what Moothart had to say about the tune and clip: ‘Spit’ was written early in the process of working on III. When Ty and I first started working on this song, we didn’t know i...
Ty Segall’s FUZZ Announce First New Album in 5 Years, Share New Track
Nobody knows how to kick off their band’s return quite like FUZZ frontman Ty Segall. The San Francisco hard-rock trio released their latest track, the appropriately titled “Returning,” on Wednesday. They also announced that their upcoming third studio album, III, is out October 23 via In the Red Recordings. The eight-track project, which follows 2015’s II, features Segall on drums, Chad Ubovich on bass, Charles Moothart on guitar, and all three splitting vocals throughout. The group recorded and mixed the album at United Recording with engineer Steve Albini, who has previously worked with bands like Nirvana, the Breeders, and Pixies. And if it’s anything like the group’s latest single, it’ll be full of some heavy, distorted jams. The new project keeps “the focus on the ...
