FUZZ STALK BACK WITH ‘III’ – ANOTHER SNARLING & LOUD GUITAR ROCK EFFORT (ALBUM REVIEW)
Glide Magazine
“The band’s first album since 2015 is a tour de force of gritty garage rock, with a snarling attitude and an emphasis on riffing.”

“The follow-up to 2019’s ‘Infest The Rats’ Nest’ will arrive on November 20 on KGLW via Caroline. The same day the Australian band will release ‘Live In San Francisco ’16’ through ATO, a 13-track collection captured at their show in the Californian city on May 26, 2016. It follows ‘Chunky Shrapnel’, another live LP that arrived this April.”
“Nothing if not prolific, K.G. will be the Aussie psych-lords’ sixteenth album since their formation in 2010 (in 2017 alone they shared five LPs). November’s drop will be the first studio album of the year from The Gizz, though a live album will also arrive on the same day.”
“Cut with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, it sounds like three people in a room intent on building the heaviest thing possible. “We wanted it all to be about power and performance,” Segall says, and III bears him out: it’s a collection of nuked anthems that feels perfectly suited for the apocalyptic spirt in the air.”
“III is an anthemic exclamation of self-assuredness. Each song tackles sovereignty from a different angle, amplifying the message with searing guitar solos and Segall’s incendiary drumming.”
“Fuzz, the power trio most likely to burn the coronavirus off all interior surfaces*, return this Friday with “Fuzz III,” their first album in five years.”
“Fuzz, the Ty Segall based metal band out of Los Angeles has never apologized for their heavier sound. While the trio has a new album III coming this Friday, their latest single “Mirror” and its video prove they aren’t giving in to anyone who’s not on board with their chunky riffs and metal structures.”
“It’s prime FUZZ, using III’s approach of taking the essential ingredients of “guitar based music” and “rock and roll power trio” and putting them on the chopping block. Not for the faint of heart, the offbeat “Mirror” video, directed by Joshua Erkman, is a full-out freak fest with a few bodily oddities.”
“King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have shared raw audio stems and video footage for their new single ‘Automation’, inviting fans to create their own remix and music video.”
“‘Mirror’ is another hard-rocking riff-monster of a song — FUZZ’s specialty”
“’Mirror’ features breakneck drumming, a roiling bassline, and two tons fuzzy distortion blasting out of Moothart’s axe.”
“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.”
“Fuzz, the trio of Ty Segall (drums, vocals), Charles Moothart (guitar, vocals), and Chad Ubovich (bass, vocals), release their third album on Friday and ahead of that they’ve just shared the video for “Mirror.””
“III is a mostly smoking collection that will thrill psych devotees, a hard and gnarly neon trip to binge on between Blue Cheer and the Brown Acid series.”
“The track is charged, nostalgic punk rock, with harsh but anthemic vocals and electrifying guitars that shine during the song’s solos.”
“Combining the heavy-hitting sounds that fans have been clamoring after for five years with the grotesque imagery of body horror puts an exclamation point on Fuzz’s statement: We Are Back.”
““Mirror” rides the previous tracks’ energies, with drums that pummel through high-power guitar riffs. It’s prime FUZZ, using III’s approach of taking the essential ingredients of “guitar based music” and “rock and roll power trio” and putting them on the chopping block.”

…“Spit” is another blast of blown-out, big riff rock from a group that’s always reliable in that realm, with drummer and singer Ty Segall presiding over the crunch with a vocal performance that edges on the serene. While the song packs an immediate punch, in a statement, guitarist Charles Moothart noted it was designed to have “a subtle tweak that over time gets more obvious. The verse riff almost feels like you’re falling asleep at the wheel then the chorus opens up with a melodic but sharp riff that adds to the punch-drunk feeling of the verse.”
…“‘Spit’ was written early in the process of working on III,” Moothart explains. “When Ty and I first started working on this song, we didn’t know if it was even going to be a FUZZ song or not. We wanted to make a song that felt straight forward, but had a subtle tweak that over time gets more obvious. The verse riff almost feels like you’re falling asleep at the wheel then the chorus opens up with a melodic, but sharp riff that adds to the punch-drunk feeling of the verse.”
…“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.”

We wanted to make a song that felt straight forward, but had a subtle tweak that over time gets more obvious. The verse riff almost feels like you’re falling asleep at the wheel then the chorus opens up with a melodic, but sharp riff that adds to the punch-drunk feeling of the verse.”
…:Ty Segall can’t stop, won’t stop in 2020. After releasing an EP of Harry Nilsson covers and a collaborative album with Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale, the prolific garage rocker has reconvened his FUZZ side project. The trio are expected to drop new album III next month, and in anticipation, they’re sharing a song dubbed “Spit”.
“…Osees (an iteration of Oh Sees) just released their new album Protean Threat on September 18, and they’ve already announced two more records that are coming soon. One is the Protean Threat remix album Panther Rotate, which is out December 11 via Castle Face…”
“ On her solo debut, the L.A.-based singer and songwriter taps members of the War on Drugs and Warpaint for winning songs about finding delight in despair…”
“Quarantine has helped me creatively in this way that I totally didn’t expect. It forced me to make my own music videos, which I’d never done before. That’s been really rewarding…”
“Even though most of these songs don’t have simple or logical resolutions, their easygoing, soulful, sometimes soothing LA styled pop makes the often troubling concepts go down easy. It helps that Cornelius possesses a striking voice, somewhat similar to that of Kate Bush…”
““Returning” is a three-minute blast of big riffs, bruising bass and battering drums, with Segall howling the song’s final refrain, “There is no sum greater than one.”…”
