FUZZ Release Guitar-Laden Single ‘Spit’
FUZZ — the project consisting of Ty Segall, Chad Ubovich and Charles Moothart — will release their first album in five years next month. 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...
