Muzz announce self-titled debut album with lead cut "Red Western Sky"

15 April 2020, 15:06 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Muzz, the trio made up of Interpol's Paul Banks, Matt Barrick (The Walkmen, Fleet Foxes) and Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman), have announced their self-titled debut album with lead single "Red Western Sky".

"Red Western Sky" is the group's third single, after quietly sharing debut track "Bad Feeling", and last month's "Broken Tambourine".

Muzz have recordings that date back to 2015, but have only just decided to begin releasing material from their collaborative project.

The Muzz members have a long friendship. Banks and Kaufman have been friends since they were teens, and attended school together overseas before relocating separately to NYC. They both met Barrick separately, and Barrick ended up drumming on Banks' Banks + Steelz project with Wu-Tang Clan's RZA.

Banks says of the new project, " Ultimately, the music speaks for itself. We have a genuine, organic artistic chemistry together. It’s partly a shared musical taste from youth, as with me and Josh, but then it’s also the souls of my friends that resonate with me when expressed through music. I think it’s cosmic."

Tracklist:

  1. Bad Feeling
  2. Evergreen
  3. Red Western Sky
  4. Patchouli
  5. Everything Like It Used To Be
  6. Broken Tambourine
  7. Knuckleduster
  8. Chubby Checker
  9. How Many Days
  10. Summer Love
  11. All Is Dead To Me
  12. Trinidad
"Red Western Sky" is out now. Muzz's Muzz album is due for release on 5 June via Matador, and is available to pre-order now.
