ALBUM OF THE WEEK Ty Segall – Three Bells
Treble Zine

A new album from Ty Segall during any 12-month period once seemed like a certainty. The psych/garage singer/songwriter has probably forgotten about more songs he’s written than most of us could ever hope to commit to tape, and with a standard of quality that’s hovered reliably between kickass and raucously fun. He released 10 of his 15 studio albums in a seven-year stretch, making the most of a good idea before it goes stale, his most white-hot streak arriving in 2012 as the noise punk squall of Slaughterhouse, the lo-fi scratch of Hair and the garagey swagger of Twins all arrived within months of each other. By the time he’d let us hear what kind of new permutation of his fuzz-swathed psychedelic rock he’s been working on, the next two or three were likely already underway.

The 15th solo album from the prolific songwriter is epic, indeed. Its sprawling 15-track mosaic includes plenty of recognizable chunks from Segall’s usual musical touchstones (guitar psychedelia, garage rock, early-’70s glam and prog) which he keeps finding arresting new ways to mix, match, and juxtapose. With the exception of the heavy-riffing “Move,” which was recorded with members of his Freedom Band, Segall plays drums on all of Three Bells’ tracks, a move which helps give the album its quirky sense of internal logic.

Album Review: Ty Segall Continues His Prolific Output With ‘Three Bells’
Medium

If you believe in everything having a natural ebb and flow, then you probably think that an artist’s creative output has at least one dud. Out of all the great things someone can do, there’s always an instance of something being mediocre or subpar. It’s part of the deal when it comes to forging an artistic endeavor, but there are outliers who counteract this particular notion. One of them is Ty Segall, who has put out a ton of music throughout his career as both a solo musician and in a variety of bands. I haven’t heard anything lacking in quality from the Los Angeles based dynamo since I became a fan of his over a decade ago and his 15th studio album Three Bells that came out via Drag City Records today (January 26) moves this trend forward.

Just when you thought you knew everything about the modern renaissance man Ty Segall, he released a new album. Segall’s imaginative world of psychedelic garage rock seems to make a hyperbolized impression of itself on Three Bells, the monstrous new LP. Imagine walking into a carnival on another planet, colors unrecognizable to the human eye dancing like LED lights in a blurry photo as Segall plays contortionist with his vocals for his most ambitious and satisfying album to date. Once you hit play, you have fully entered the world of Three Bells so make sure you are comfortable and prepare to be amazed by the sonic wizardry of Ty Segall.

Ty Segall’s ‘Three Bells’ Rings with Clarity
Exclaim

One of our most prolific and seemingly tireless songwriters, Ty Segall has never shied away from trying something new. On his latest album Three Bells, the Laguna Beach, California musician draws on some of his favourite, lasting influences — psych rock, folk, heavy metal — and twists them to produce one of his most conceptual and narratively clarified records.

Ty Segall Releases The Best Video of the Year
Culture Fiend

Kudos to Ty Segall, who won the internet today by releasing the video and tune “My Best Friend.”

Since 2008, Ty Segall has played out his hunger to be free through a dozen solo LPs, a variety of collaborative projects, and a rippling eclecticism of songs, sounds and production, all conversing from album to album in a mad diversity of voices. This search continues with Ty’s newest album, Three Bells, a fifteen song journey to the center of the self with Ty pushing the limits in his writing and performance, casting light on his inner psyche. Today, leading into the album’s January 26th release via Drag City, Ty welcomes the new year with “My Best Friend,” a new single and video and the final song to be released prior to the full unveiling of Three Bells. It follows the previously released Three Bells’ numbers: “Void,” “Eggman,” and “My Room.”

Do you like dogs? So does Ty Segall and the video for his new single “My Best Friend” features his adorable dachshunds, Fanny and Herman. The song’s a keeper, too, and downright poppy. New album Three Bells is out January 26 via Drag City.

From Taylor Swift to Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen, here are the 10 best concerts we saw this year
The Philadelphia Inquirer

10. Bikini Kill, Franklin Music Hall, April 7 — I waited almost 30 years for this one. The riot-grrl pioneers led by Kathleen Hanna’s previous show in Philadelphia was on the rooftop of a Drexel parking garage in 1994. The influential band whose “Revolution Girl Style Now!” call to action still resonates didn’t disappoint with a spiky set that double-dared a multigenerational crowd to “do what you want … be who you will.”

Indie Mixtape

This prolific garage-rocker is easy to take for granted. With the exception of Robert Pollard, nobody in indie rock puts out more music. At some point, it becomes impossible to keep up with the output, though Segall’s batting average for putting out quality material remains admirable. His next album, Three Bells, drops January 26.

Ty Segall – My Room
Guitar World

Taken from the prolific songwriter’s proggy new album Three Bells (due January 2024), My Room offers a sort of warped, spiritual counterpart to Brian Wilson’s ode to the comfort and safety of your inner sanctum.

Here Segall’s electric guitar is left knocking on the door of his room – an increasingly invasive presence that tries to pierce its way through as the time passes.

Ty Segall – “My Room”
Stereogum

Over the past few months, Ty Segall has released a couple singles — “Void” and “Eggman” — and today he’s announcing a new full-length album, which those two tracks will appear on, alongside today’s new song “My Room.”

Ty Segall has a new album on the way. Titled Three Bells, Segall’s 13th overall studio release is out on Jan. 26, 2024 through longtime label Drag City. Latest single “My Room” is accompanied by a video from previous collaborator Matt Yoka, in which he performs on stage despite being pelted by bananas.

Three Bells will also include the prior singles “Eggman” and Void.” It was produced by Segall with Cooper Crain, who also engineered and mixed most of it. Additionally, Segall collaborated with his wife Denee on five tracks, on the heels of their work together on the 2023 album Surgery Channel. Overall, Three Bells is Segall’s first album under his own name since 2022’s acoustic Hello, Hi.

The singer will embark on a massive North American tour next year

After releasing Hello, Hi last year, and dropping his first feature film score (composed for Matt Yoka’s documentary, Whirlybird), Ty Segall is set to debut his next album, Three Bells, on Jan. 26, 2024. Alongside the announcement, the singer also shared the music video for new single “My Room.”

The upcoming album is being billed as “a deeper, wilder journey to the center of the self, with Ty using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication,” and an “an obsessive quest for expression.” According to a press release, the LP will include 15 songs brimming with “perspectives, shape-shifting incessantly.” Ty and his wife Denée Segall have collaborated on five of the tracks, including the previously released single, “Eggman.” Emmett Kelly takes on bass while the remaining members of the Freedom Band were called in for the project, and Cooper Crain co-produced, per the release.

SPELLLING released a new album, SPELLLING & The Mystery School, in August, a collection of reworked songs from throughout her discography, and she’s on a brief tour supporting it. She stopped in Brooklyn on Tuesday night (10/17) for a show at Elsewhere with Habibi leader Rahill, where she and her band delivered theatrical renditions of fan favorites, including “Little Deer,” “Always,” and otherwordly opus “Boys At School.” She ended the night with a couple of new songs. See attendee-taken video clips from her set, and pictures from the whole night below.

Which Artist Has the Best Merch?

A highlight of the year was seeing Le Tigre at Brooklyn Steel in their first tour in 18 years. Their first record came out when I was in high school, so I was fully ready to indulge in my teen-girl feelings (which, when it comes to matters of Le Tigre, are remarkably similar to my adult-woman feelings). At first I wasn’t going to buy any merch, but after seeing a few people in the audience rocking the tank, I knew I needed to get it. I loved it the most because it’s such a cheeky take on the viral Prada and Loewe tank tops that have been all the rage lately—another way to bridge my teen-girl with my adult self.

The Fader

Ty Segall has announced a new studio LP titled Three Bells, due out January 26 via Drag City. The news comes with a song called “My Room” — the project’s third pre-release offering, according to its newly revealed tracklist — and a bare-bones music video co-directed by Segall and Matt Yoka.

“My Room” is a tightly coiled tune that maintains a low-flying tension throughout despite its easy-going groove. Clocking in at just over four minutes, it gives Segall plenty of time to settle into several pockets but reins in some of his jammier tendencies. In the video, he plays guitar, bass, and drums; dodges the bananas that are thrown at him with increasing velocity and frequency as the clip continues; and watches himself from a director’s chair, applauding whole-heartedly at the end.
