Earth Tongue, the New Zealand duo of Gussie Larkin and Ezra Simons, has released their sophomore album 'Dungeon Vision' on In The Red Records. Produced in collaboration with Ty Segall, the record features a sound that is both primordial and futuristic, with a focus on stripped-back heaviness, geometric precision, and vulnerable vocal performances.

Why it matters

Earth Tongue's evolution on 'Dungeon Vision' showcases their ability to craft a distinct sonic identity that eschews the clichés of modern heavy rock. The album's blend of garage rock spirit and progressive songwriting has resulted in a compelling and idiosyncratic work that pushes the boundaries of the duo format.

The details

Recorded at Altamira Sound and Harmonizer Studios in Los Angeles, 'Dungeon Vision' benefits from the collaborative production of Ty Segall, whose mixing style prioritizes the clarity of the vocals and carves out dedicated frequency space for the complex four-part harmonies. The album's thematic exploration of the occult and the technological is reflected in the band's songwriting, which balances angular complexity with visceral hooks.

  • The album was released on February 14, 2026.
