Fuzz, the proto-metal inspired power trio of Ty Segall (who sings and plays drums here), Charles Moothart (guitar, vocals) and Chad Ubovich (bass, vocals), will release III, their first album in five years, on October 23 via In the Red. The made it at LA's United Recordings studios "under the tutelage" of Steve Albini. who discouraged overdubs and effects in favor of capturing the trio's live sound. The album's lead single is III's ripper of an opening track, "Returning," which is pretty killer. Listen to that below.
The trio's 2020 summer tour didn't happen thanks to COVID-19 but they've rescheduled dates for early 2021, with new NYC shows happening February 10 at Music Hall of Williamsburg and February 11 at Bowery Ballroom. Before the tour tour starts, FUZZ will play three nights at LA's Teragram Ballroom on December 2-5, which seems a little like wishful thinking at this point but we'll see.
Check out the full list of Fuzz dates, plus the album art and tracklist, below.
