Ty Segall has announced his new album, Three Bells, with a video for his new song, “My Room,” directed by Segall and Whirlybird collaborator Matt Yoka. The album is due out Friday, January 26, 2024, via Drag City. Check out the album artwork, full tracklist, and the video for “My Room” below.
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.

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.
The always-prolific Ty Segall has announced the dawn of a new era. His next record, Three Bells, will arrive January 26 via Drag City. In the previous months, Segall has unveiled singles like “Void” and “Eggman,” both psychedelic and fuzzed-out to oblivion. This time around, his official teaser single “My Room” cools it on the distortion and plays up the blistering rock tones he’s become known for. The track is melodic and impassioned, working its way through stone-cold rock riffs and searing melodies.
Last month, Ty Segall released a new single, “Void,” accompanied by the announcement of a North American tour that will kick off next year. Today, Segall is back with another track, “Eggman,’ which comes with a video of him trying to eat a whole lot of eggs.
New singles continue to roll out of the Ty Segall camp, this time turning down the prog dial for something a bit more raw. On “Eggman” Ty lets acoustic strums bandy with redline squalls. The scorch and swelter take a break midway through as he lets the song unravel into a slow motion sweat that eventually collapses to the floor. The track comes accompanied with a video that finds Segall channeling his inner Cool Hand Luke, gulpin’ eggs with the best of them. Like the last, the new single comes unattached, but with the way the singles are gathering there’s likely an album about to tie them together. Nab the new one over at Drag City and check out the video above.
Ty Segall has shared a doozy of a new single called “Eggman.”
The musician’s second new song this year, “Eggman” lives somewhere between Magical Mystery Tour and David Bowie’s “Fame,” layering multi-textural guitar riffs over a mid-tempo groove.
California singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ty Segall is back with a brand new single today. “Void,” his first release of fresh music since his 2022 album “Hello, Hi,” is a psychedelic, kaleidoscopic rock track that centers Segall’s woozy vocal affectations and an intricate guitar part that is relentless in its loops and shimmers. The choral harmonies arrive with ample rewards, as the entire arrangement bleeds and morphs like a grand, hypnotic fusion of spectral, climaxing sonic DNA. It’s Ty Segall-core to the bone, and we’re obsessed.
Ty Segall has announced a new set of 2024 tour dates through next spring, and he’s paired the news with a nearly seven-minute-spanning new single “Void.”
Hey, Ty Segall released a seven-minute experimental prog-rock song! “Void,” released today to accompany Segall’s 2024(!) tour announcement, is a relative rarity within the veteran garage-rocker’s extensive catalog. It begins with an eerie, dissonant acoustic arpeggio and builds layers from there. It never really settles into the hard-charging take-no-prisoners mode I associate with Segall’s live show, but it eventually bottoms out into something like ominous classic rock, like a proto-metal version of late-period Beatles.
“…Suddenly the scene bursts into action as the rest of the Freedom Band emerge amongst a dervish of roadies preparing the stage for the full-band assault, and there’s a sudden wall of noise as they unleash into the buzzsaw dirge of older track Wave Goodbye, the thick molten riffs getting heads up the front, banging in unison before dissolving into a lengthy wig-out. It’s immediately apparent that this is a far different beast to the Ty Segall of last visit, having evolved away from his garage-pop foundations into a more cosmic, jamming behemoth. He’s always given the vibe of not caring the slightest about anything but what he likes, so the shift works seamlessly. His bandmates are fully invested in the transformation and follow their leader into the fray with gleeful abandon”
“There was a heightened anticipation for Ty’s first Adelaide visit and judging by the post-show discussions overheard from fanboys, there was not any disappointment”
“At age 35, Segall has released more records than most artists do in a lifetime. He has 14 studio albums to his name, not including the many side projects he’s a part of. 2012’s Slaughterhouse is a wildly noisy rock ‘n’ roll affair, while the next year’s Sleeper has him strumming an acoustic guitar. Some of the loudest music Segall has released has been with the band Fuzz, which has him behind the drum kit, the instrument he learnt before guitar.”
“Wide Awake festival organisers have confirmed its return to London next year, with the first wave of acts including Ty Segall, Osees and A Place To Bury Strangers. The event, which won the Best Small Festival award at the BandLab NME Awards 2022, is again held south of Brixton in Brockwell Park. It takes place on May 27, 2023”
‘Segall predominantly self-recorded the album at his home in California. “Hello, Hi” is quintessential Segall: fuzzed-out psych-rock…Over the years, Segall has cemented himself as a prolific rocker.’
‘Human psych-rock factory Ty Segall isn’t the type to sit still for long. Last summer, Segall released his surprise LP Harmonizer. Earlier this year, he followed that LP with his soundtrack for the documentary Whirlybird. And now Segall has announced plays to drop a whole new LP on the world this summer, and he’s shared its absolute rocker of a first single.’
‘“Hello, Hi” is a thundering ruckus of electric sound. Alternating between his vulnerable pleas and bashing strums, Segall’s wish is simple: “I leave a gift and I want to cry / A box of wood and a curtain / I just want to say hi.”’
‘Ty Segall has announced his next album, “Hello, Hi”. The Harmonizer follow-up arrives in July 22 via Segall’s longtime label home Drag City. Segall predominantly self-recorded the album at his home in California. Today, he has shared the album’s title track.’
‘Allow Ty Segall to welcome you to his new album. The psych-rocker’s 14th studio LP, Hello, Hi, is due out July 22nd via Drag City, and as a preview, he shared its rousing title track today. Additionally, Segall has unveiled a run of tour dates across North America and Europe for Summer 2022.’
‘Ty Segall has announced his 14th solo album “Hello, Hi” that will be out July 22 via Drag City. After the synthesized gleam of Harmonizer, he’s going in a different direction this time: “Tossing down straight acoustic shots with electric guitar back, ‘Hello, Hi’ rides through the valley of yer ol’ Canyon legends, finding an isolated place to unspool Ty’s copious reserves of nervous energy beneath an open sky.’
‘One of the most prolific artists of the last decade, rivalling the output of Oh Sees and Robert Pollard, Ty Segall emerged from a two-year hibernation earlier this month, surprising the world with Harmonizer which he released to the world with no advance notice.’
‘The album distinguishes itself from the Segall catalog with extra-punctuated parts that slam into the ears, a calculated continuity enhanced by tracks that transition seamlessly, and a bunch of laser sounds.’
‘On “Whisper,” Segall mangles synthesizers until they sizzle and melt down into guitar-like lava. Combining sludgy stoner metal, electronic textures and sugary-sweet harmonies, Segall basically remakes heavy music into his own funhouse image. At the end, “Whisper” suddenly lurches into a slower gear, heading off in another direction.’
Ty Segall makes a lot of noise. Since 2008, the California garage-rocker has released nearly a dozen solo albums, plus quite a few collaborations, EPs, one-off singles and more. This summer and fall, Segall will explore his back catalog with a series of multi-night residencies in Los Angeles and New York at which he’ll perform several of his best-loved albums in full.
