American multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ty Segall has announced the release of a new album called Hello, Hi which follows 2022’s Harmonizer. It will be out on July 22nd via Drag City. According to the press release, “Hello, Hi” is expansively rendered by Ty, mostly by himself, at home. The isolation suits the songs: you’re only ever as “at home” as you are with yourself in the mirror. Ty’s acoustic and electric guitars and vocal harmonies layer self upon self, forming a spiny backbone for the album. Textures at once gentle and dissonant root the songs as they make their move: melodic arcs convulsing in doubt and bliss and rage. Released from the endless gridlock into open space, these spirits pass on through.
