Event Details
Ty Segall rides back in with his 16th album, Possession, to be released May 30th via Drag City, and with todays announcement, releases the lead single,Fantastic Tomb. Following 2024s Three Bells, Possession sees Ty on the hunt for new horizons, hitting the trail beneath the big skies of our frontier empire to take us on a high-octane narrative journey. A literary set of lyrics co-written by his longtime collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, paint an abiding view of quintessentially American stories. All the while, there are invigorated new sounds around every bend glittering rhythm arrangements feature more of Tys own piano woodshedding than ever, joined in battle by sweeping movements of strings and horns. Rife with singing guitar leads and banks of Tys vocal harmonies, Possession features some of Tys most inspired songs to date.Tapping Yoka to write with him was one of the keys to this new music. As a non-musician, Yokas language sense is different from the one Tys amassed as a player of music. With the trust theyve developed over the years brainstorming the visual worlds of Goodbye Bread, Manipulator, Emotional Mugger, and music of Yokas Whirlybird documentary they throw the conceptual ball back and forth to translate a general feeling or a vibe into wicked lyric imagery, each acting as writer and editor in the process. Be it de Toqueville, duBois, George H. Nash, Howard Zinn, Bob Dylan or Smile-era Beach Boys, Tys sharpened narrative approach and storytelling takes a page from everyones history.Todays single, Fantastic Tomb, is an epic story-song. Desperate for something he can hold onto, our hero takes a job hitting the house of a man worth more than a country could make, only to find the treasure hunt to be just another ride to nowhere. The song is a modern American noir-cum-classic rock hoedown, scored with Tys burnt-filament lead guitar and ingeniously sealed with Mikal Cronins saxophone section.Possession is Ty Segalls own bizarre traversing of the American landscape, taking back alleys through complicated cityscapes and singing about the end of the rope while resisting defeat suggesting an ecstatic new empire to build as he cruises the countryside
