This is, following Black Paint, a 2nd preview of his forthcoming 18th longplayer,
titled Chrome, out August 28th. Weirdly enough, he releases the same day an EP,
named Love Buzz.

TUTV: Sounds like Segall uses a chainsaw
as his guitar on this demolishing barnstormer
to go out of his mind.
Artist: TY SEGALL Who: The 24/7 garage rocker
from Laguna Beach, CA.
Track: BLACK PAINT
First single from his forthcoming 18th longplayer, titled Chrome,
out August 28th. Weirdly enough, he releases the same day an EP,
named Love Buzz.
Laguna Beach (California) born rock junkie TY SEGALL
has his 16th (solo) album, named POSSESSION.
Press info: “Ty hits the big sky trail of our good ol’ frontier empire, discovering non-stop bangers and inspired new sonics around every bend. With lyrics co-written by longtime collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, Ty‘s glittering rhythm arrangements move with fresh scansion, inviting in sweeps of strings and horns to further the charge righteously. You’re invited too! Don’t miss the trip – the country inspires awe from up on Ty’s high-octane ride.”

AllMusic says: “It’s definitely a milestone and a career highlight, as well as a release
that anyone who likes real live, breathing and bleeding rock & roll should be glad
exists.”
TUTV: One of his most coherent, balanced, and fully satisfying albums (so far).
All 10 songs stand tall and proud, rock with flair and groove with panache. They
have body, heart and soul.
Lots of horns and strings are involved, but never in an overdrive way, rather as an integrated part of the record’s rich orchestrations. Also Segall rarely loses himself in redundant guitar solos, which happened way too often in the past. He keeps it simple
and direct, sonically and vocally. Ty rules, folks.
Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine
28 April 2025
Last month, 24/7 rock addict TY SEGALL announced
details of his upcoming, 16th solo album. It’s baptized Possesion and turn up on 30th May.
Press info: “Ty hits the big sky trail of our good ol’ frontier empire, discovering non-stop bangers and inspired new sonics around every bend. With lyrics co-written by longtime collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, Ty‘s glittering rhythm arrangements move with fresh scansion, inviting in sweeps of strings and horns to further the charge righteously. You’re invited too! Don’t miss the trip – the country inspires awe from up on Ty’s high-octane ride.”
New album artwork
Following the moody-groovy, guitar-fueled lead single Fantastic Bomb
the Californian rock addict present a 2nd taster, the album’s title track POSSESION. Actually another moody-groovy, guitar-fueled piece.
In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX/PLAYLIST that matters.
Track: SUDDEN ADVICE
First taster from their upcoming
3rd album Breather, out on April 21.
TUTV: It seems like COC and Welsh turbulent post-punk legends McClusky
made a deal to come back at the same time, just because you can produce
more noizzz with two tumultuous bands than one.
Sudden Advice is a destructive, guitar-psychotic haymaker pushed by
a maniacal drummer and combative bassist and an in-your-face vocalist.
Band: SLIGHTEST CLUE Who:Canadian outfit who combine post-punk, garage rock, and
dark pop into a patchwork quilt of genres, creating something
fresh within the alt-rock landscape.
Mac (guitarist/vocalist): “You can stay in things for too long if it’s what
you think you deserve. This song is about overcoming that passivity taking
back control and knowing your own worth.”
TUTV: Knock-down and drag-out turmoil comes from the front and the back, from left and right. This guitar-frenzied uppercut smashes you to the wall and there’s no escape exit. You’d better do not play this head-twisting thwack in your car in order to avoid that you lose control and crash.
Artist: TY SEGALL Who: The 24/7 music
fanatic from L.A.
Track: FANTASTIC TOMB
First shared piece from his upcoming 16th solo album (he also made
countless collaborative records), called Possesion. It comes our way
on 30th May.
New album artwork
“It’s a 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 Ty’s burnt-filament lead guitar and ingeniously sealed with Mikal Cronin’s saxophone section.”
TUTV: Again Segall displays his addictive love for 60s/70s psychedelic pop/rock.
Imagine the Grateful Dead fronted by Marc Bolan. Groovy, boogie, and brassy.
The song is inspired by a fight with his then-girlfriend. “Jam Jar” finds Cowan reflecting on a moment of fault while trying to understand things from the other person’s perspective. It’s narrative feels as personal as it does universal, touching on themes of vulnerability, guilt, and the struggle of owning up to one’s mistakes.
Cowan: “We were out at a party, and I was at fault. While we were on our way home on the Toronto streetcar, I was trying to imagine things from her shoes—buried in a grave I designed,”
TUTV: Electric passion, country-folk rock echoes, and entrancing Canadana vocals are
the keywords here. Despite its mixed emotions content Jam Jar is a frisky and sprightly
tune that attracts your aural attention on the spot. High songwriting quality.
Californian garage rock chameleon TY SEGALL is one of the busiest bees in rockbizz.
14 solo LPs in only 15 years, and collaborative albums here and there, like with his wife under the moniker of The C.I.A.
Press info: “A fifteen song cycle that takes a journey to the center of the self. Ty’s been
on this kind of trip before, so he’s souped up a vehicle that’s all his own – a sophisticated machine – to take us there this time. The conception of Three Bells arcs, rainbow-like, into a land nearly beyond songs – but inside of them, Ty relentlessly pushes the walls further and further in his writing and playing to cast light into the most opaque depths.”
TUTV: Segall is one of those music-obsessed artists who are writing songs 24/7, even when
they sleep, when they lunch, when they drive their car and actually when they do whatever they do. Three Bells is an overall bluesy affair – 15 songs – with a series of 70s prog/garage rock grooves swinging back and forth, several lazy reflections and some spacey and jazzy vibes. His wife Denée Segall also wrote/co-wrote some tracks. My fav songs: Void / Hi Dee Dee / My Best Friend / Eggman and the Beatle-esque What Can We Do.
Californian post-punk garage rocker TY SEGALL is one of the busiest bees in rockbizz. With 14 solo LPs in only 15 years and some collaborative albums here and there, like with his wife under the moniker of The C.I.A. you wonder when this guy sleeps.
On 26 January, he’ll premiere his new longplayer THREE BELLS.

Following the new eerie psych jam Void last month, musical centipede TY SEGALL
offers another new track, titled EGGMAN. It was written together with his wife and
the C.I.A. bandmate Denée.
