Earth Tongue - Dungeon Vision [LP]

Ushering in a new era, Berlin based, New Zealand heavy psych duo Earth Tongue lower the castle gates on their third album Dungeon Vision, a trove of fuzz-drenched anthems produced by garage rock luminary Ty Segall in Los Angeles.Guitarist Gussie Larkin and drummer Ezra Simons spent the Berlin winter of 2025 refining the album's twelve tracks in their self-described "windowless cave" rehearsal space, crafting a record that channels both isolation and the duo's live intensity. With the songs finally taking shape and a studio deadline looming, they flew to Los Angeles to turn their hard-won ideas into the real thing. Once there, the band and Ty captured lightning in a bottle, recording and mixing Dungeon Vision in just ten days at Altamira Sound. Tracked live to tape, Dungeon Vision pulses with human energy, fuzz guitars, bone-battering drums, and hauntingly tuneful vocals. Ty Segall's influence is all over the record with Ty choosing the best takes based on feel rather than technical perfection. The "king of fuzzy guitar tones" pushed the duo to find new sonic textures while championing their raw chemistry."Ty's been a big driving force," says Ezra. "We supported him in New Zealand back in 2023, and he's backed us ever since even bringing us on tour through Europe and the UK in 2024."Since their emergence in 2016, Earth Tongue's world-building, visuals, and relentless touring have earned them global attention and a cult-like following. Their 2024 album Great Haunting, also released on In The Red Records, received a Taite Music Prize nomination and saw them win Best Group at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. They've toured extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, Acid King, Brant Bjork and Kikagaku Moyo. With Dungeon Vision, Earth Tongue deliver their most immersive work yet, a richly human, fuzz-soaked journey that bottles the magic of their live show and cements their reputation as one of the most exciting psych rock acts on the planet.
