Muzz is the studio album by American rock supergroup Muzz. The album was released on June 5, 2020, through Matador Records.

Four singles were released ahead of the album: "Bad Feeling", "Red Western Sky", "Broken Tambourine", and "Knuckleduster".

The album was met with positive critical reception, with contemporary music journalists praising Paul Banks' vocals in a softer setting.

Background

The members of Muzz: Paul Banks, Josh Kaufman, and Matt Barrick, have been friends since the early 2000s, during the height of the New York City post-punk revival scene. The three began recording demos, which laid the foundation for Muzz as far back as 2015. In late 2019 into early 2020, the band began recording material for a studio album under the name "Muzz".[5]

On April 15, 2020, the album was announced, corresponding with their third single, "Red Western Sky".[6]
