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.

The band recently shared a video for the single and title track, which was the first song written for the album, with early ideas forming before the band’s 2024 move to Berlin. The track came to life during a rare break from touring in August that year, when the band finally had time to demo it and send it to Ty Segall. 

The accompanying music video is a handcrafted visual feast created by Berlin-based animator, illustrator and close friend Neirin Best, who previously worked on videos for ‘Bodies Dissolve Tonight!’ and ‘Probing the New Reality.’ Neirin and a small team spent months building a miniature dungeon set, carving trees, hand-painting walls, and adding intricate details like tiny skulls and candles, complete with LED flames.  As if that wasn’t enough, Gussie and Ezra decided the video wouldn’t be complete without a larger-than-life stone wall backdrop, hand-painted to mimic the miniature setting. For this, they called on their neighbour, Geo Gregory - costume designer for their ‘Ritual’ music video - who enthusiastically took on the task with help from her artistic collaborator, Archie Fitzgerald. Shot on 16mm film by drummer Ezra Simons for an authentic 80s horror aesthetic, the video stands as a celebration of the talented, creative people within the Earth Tongue orbit and the most time-intensive visual project the band has ever undertaken.

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.”

That creative trust shines through on lead single ‘Ritual’, born from Ty’s challenge to write an a cappella track. The result is a genre-bending explosion of four-part harmonies that nods to Gussie’s choral roots. Other highlights listeners can look forward to include ‘Body of Water’, a psych-folk journey inspired by English acts like Trees and Fairport Convention, and ‘Symmetry Dripper’, a synth-laced instrumental that could soundtrack an ‘80s arcade fever dream.

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.
