Fuzz unveil new cut "Spit"

Fuzz have released their second single in five years "Spit", which will feature on their forthcoming album III.

"Spit" is the second single to be shared from III after Fuzz made their comeback in July with opening song "Returning".

According to Stereogum, guitarist Charles Moothart said of the track, ""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 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."

On the video, he added, "I started doing stop motion as a quarantine experiment. I wanted to make experimental animation that I could try to make sound design for, and I ended up just making a Fuzz video. It was an extremely fun project to take on in this time. It was especially fun to open up for feedback and ask for direction so that I had to challenge myself to complete something that felt cohesive. I was honored when it became more clear that I had actually created something that the band wanted to stand behind from an aesthetic standpoint."

The trio, made up of Moothart, Ty Segall and Chad Ubovich, recorded and mixed III across 10 days in August 2019 at United Recording with Steve Albini.

"Spit" is out now. Fuzz's III album will arrive via The Red Recordings on 23 October, and is available to pre-order now.
