Two is balanced therefore stagnant. III ░▐ ▌░ both active and reactive. Charles Moothart, Ty Segall and ░▐ ▌░ Chad Ubovich are FUZZ. FUZZ is three. And III has returned. ░▐ ▌░ Songs for all, and music for one. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ III was recorded and mixed at United Recording under the ░▐ ▌░ sonic lordship of Steve Albini. Keeping the focus on the live ░▐ ▌░ sounds of the band, the use of overdubs and studio tricks ░▐ ▌░ were kept to a minimum. AlbiniÆs mastery in capturing sound ░▐ ▌░ gave FUZZ the ability to focus entirely on the playing while ░▐ ▌░ knowing the natural sounds would land. It takes the essential ░▐ ▌░ ingredients of ôguitar based musicö and ôrock and roll power ░▐ ▌░ trioö and puts them right out on the chopping block. It was a ░▐ ▌░ much more honest approach for FUZZ -- three humans getting ░▐ ▌░ primitive, staying primitive. The goal was never to reinvent ░▐ ▌░ the wheel. Sometimes itÆs just about seeing how long you can ░▐ ▌░ hold on before youÆre thrown off. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Album opener ôReturningö serves as a sort of mission ░▐ ▌░ statement for the album. ItÆs an auditory meditation on the ░▐ ▌░ power of one and the different perspectives of one, whether ░▐ ▌░ it is the singular person looking inward, or a group of ░▐ ▌░ people coming together as a single unit. Not only is it an ░▐ ▌░ echo of the return of FUZZ, but also a broader return to form ░▐ ▌░ - raw and empowered through vulnerability. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ôNothing Peopleö and ôSpitö served as a launching point into ░▐ ▌░ the new sphere that would become III. They were written ░▐ ▌░ around the same time, and felt like they opened two different ░▐ ▌░ doorways -- familiar in some ways and new in others. ôTime ░▐ ▌░ Collapse,ö a rogue cut from the days of FUZZÆs II, landed ░▐ ▌░ soundly on the scorched surface of side A to round things ░▐ ▌░ out. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ôMirrorö opens up the B side and the collective ░▐ ▌░ consciousness. Mirroring the call to arms of ôReturning,ö the ░▐ ▌░ song asks the listener to link arms with the band, march to ░▐ ▌░ the same drum of love, and create a space of equality among ░▐ ▌░ the freaks. The pummeling rhythm demands the request to crush ░▐ ▌░ the mirror that feeds you lies. In the end, itÆs a ballad for ░▐ ▌░ the unique, twisted, and natural self that should be exalted ░▐ ▌░ before any falsehood. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The stomping back half of III serves as a self aware call out ░▐ ▌░ to the lineage in which this record calls home -- both ░▐ ▌░ personal and general in the historical context of raw power ░▐ ▌░ trio records. ôBlind to Vinesö and ôEnd Returningö accentuate ░▐ ▌░ the meditative qualities of FUZZ. While coming from opposite ░▐ ▌░ ends of the spectrum, they balance restraint and compulsion. ░▐ ▌░ FUZZ will ultimately cave to compulsion. That is without ░▐ ▌░ question. But what good is a freak out without an initial ░▐ ▌░ glance inward? ôEnd Returningö takes that look inward and ░▐ ▌░ scrambles the timeline. It finds peace and challenges it in ░▐ ▌░ the next breath. Arguably, it brutalizes this peace to test ░▐ ▌░ the foundations on which it rests, inevitably bringing the ░▐ ▌░ origin back into focus. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Three points reflected in three Mirrors; a pyramid of sonic ░▐ ▌░ destruction and psychic creation. Nothing People feed the ░▐ ▌░ roots while the freaks fly free in the treetops - Blind to ░▐ ▌░ Vines, Eyes Closed, Stuck in Spit, triumphing the Returning ░▐ ▌░ of beginnings and Ends Returning while beginning to see the ░▐ ▌░ Time Collapse. Love is the only way to annihilate hate, and ░▐ ▌░ Sketchy freaks live to bleed. All shades of color, truth and ░▐ ▌░ lies, III is the pillar of unity and singularity. All is ░▐ ▌░ nothing, and only nothing can generate everything.
