Ty Segall is the forthcoming ninth studio album by American garage rock musician Ty Segall, due for release on January 27, 2017 on Drag City Records.[1] It is Segall's second self-titled studio album, following the release of his debut in 2008.[2]
Preceded by the single, "Orange Color Queen", the album was recorded with regular collaborators, Mikal Cronin and Charles Moothart, Emmett Kelly, who performed with Segall and Cronin as a member of The Muggers, and Ben Boye.
Writing and composition
The track, "Orange Color Queen", is a love song written for Segall's girlfriend Denée. Upon the album's announcement, Segall noted: "I've written her many [songs], but I think this is my favorite. I travel around the world for a living and have developed a slight fear of flying. She's one of the things that makes it better for me to travel. Especially when she is with me. She has orange hair, and is my orange color queen. I rarely write songs like this, because it is so easy to sound disingenuous, but I think this one is pretty good."[3]
Recording
A press release from Segall's label described the album's sound: "The construction and destruction of [Segall's] chosen realities has, until now, been a luxury Ty has rightfully reserved for himself, striping overdubs together to form the sound - but for this new album, he entered a studio backed by a full band - Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin, Charles Moothart and Ben Boye - to get a read on this so-called clarity."[4]
