Ty Segall releases new album, Three bells, on January 26 via Drag City. Now he's shared the album's latest pre-release single, “My Best Friend,” via a self-directed music video featuring his dogs Fanny and Herman. Check it out below, followed by Segall's upcoming tour dates.
Three bells features three 2023 singles, “Void”, “Eggman” and “My Room”. “Void,” a new nearly seven-minute Segall song, was shared in August via a music video and was one of the songs of the week. “Eggman” was shared in September via a music video in which Segall eats several hard-boiled eggs. When the album was announced in November, Segall released “My Room,” which was also one of the songs of the week.
Segall collaborated with his wife, Denée Segall, on five songs Three bells. Emmett Kelly plays bass on a few songs, and the rest of Segall's band, The Freedom Band, also played on the album. Cooper Crain co-produced the album, as well as engineering and mixing most of it Three bells.
An earlier press release described the album in more detail:Three bells it is an obsessive search for expression. With much of the album being played by Ty in conversation with himself, a decision that further elevates the album's conception, it harkens back to the feeling that always pulls Ty subconsciously to the depths. The questions we're all asking of our own mirrors are addressed here – and regardless of what the mysterious 'Three Bells' means in the context of the album's libretto, you can be sure that Ty is hitting them for himself and the rest of us with their turn. With all fifteen songs brimming with perspective, constantly shifting shape, Ty pushed them farther and farther compositionally, questioning the way they would be played. Each song moves through repetitive, thematic material in its own way, building an atmosphere of claustrophobia/paranoia, circling bold forward thrusts into ego deaths, the one-step-forward, two-step-back motifs framing an overriding question: what can we to get past the back-and-forth, to get to a point of acceptance?'
Segall's previous solo album, “Hello Hello”, released in 2022 via Drag City. Also in 2022, Segall released the Matt Yoka documentary soundtrack Whirlybirdhis first feature film, also via Drag City.
