Ty Segall will not only be taking up a three-night residency, in London, the singer has also announced a series of residences, in North America and Europe, where he will perform various albums in full. The singer will be taking up residency in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Berlin, and Harrlem.

The shows will feature run-throughs of his albums, ‘Melted’, ‘Goodbye Bread’, ‘Emotional Mugger’ and ‘Manipulator’, alongside an as-yet-unrevealed set. Segall will begin his London residency, at Oval Space, on the 11th of October 2019, concluding on the 13th of October 2019. He’ll play three nights at Oval Space, with ‘Melted’ featuring on 11th October, then ‘Goodbye Bread’, on the 12th, and ‘Manipulator’ on 13th October.

The multi-instrumentalist singer/song-writer and record producer, is known for his ever-expanding discography of genre blending garage rock. Since launching his solo career he has produced ten studio albums along with various EPs, singles, and collaborative albums. His last record, ‘Freedom’s Goblin’, was released in 2018, which was ten years after his self-titled debut.

Segall’s residency comes after he toured the UK, last year and sees him returning for a short stint, at Oval Space, in London. The multi-talented musician will be supported by The Freedom Band, consisting of regular collaborators Mikal Cronin (bass), Charles Moothart (drums), and Emmett Kelly (guitar), playing alongside Ben Boye (piano).

Fudge Sandwich – out October 26th via In The Red Records

Unusually for Ty, the new record is a collection of eleven covers of some of his favourite songs. In a tongue-in-cheek press release, In The Red explained the move. ‘Ty Segall is a fan of music. He lives in Los Angeles, but has lived in San Francisco and Laguna Beach. Ty is obsessed with ceviche and loves being outside. He is 31 years old. For fun, he recorded a covers album of songs he loves. This includes songs by Amon Düül II, John Lennon, Sparks, War, Funkadelic, Rudimentary Peni, Grateful Dead, Spencer Davis Group, and more. Ty loves so many songs. This particular covers collection is called Fudge Sandwich, and the album art… has a picture of a fudge sandwich on it.’ 

Compared to the grand solo outings of Manipulator, Goodbye Bread and Freedom’s Goblin, it seems that Ty himself isn’t taking Fudge Sandwich too seriously. ‘He hopes you like it. If you don’t, it’s ok because he really just made it for fun. Ty is currently taking his dog, Fanny, for a walk.’

In a varied and choice selection, Fudge Sandwich will see Ty taking on some of the 20th-century’s greatest artists. One standout to look out for is track three, ‘Isolation’, originally released on John Lennon’s seminal solo record John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band: an album on which the ex-Beatle famously mourned the loss of his parents in a mixture of piano ballads, proto-grunge rockers and primal screams. See the tracklist below:

1. Lowrider (War)
2. I’m a Man (Spencer Davis Group)
3. Isolation (John Lennon)
4. Hit It and Quit it (Funkadelic)
5. Class War (The Dils)
6. The Loner (Neil Young)
7. Pretty Miss Titty (Gong)
8. Archangel Thunderbird (Amon Düül II)
9. Rotten to the Core (Rudimentary Peni)
10. St. Stephen (Grateful Dead)
11. Slowboat (Sparks)

Ty gave us a sneak-peek of the new album with the single, ‘I’m A Man’, originally written and performed by the Spencer Davis Group in early-1967, when frontman Stevie Winwood was just eighteen-years-old.

In support of the new album, the group yesterday released the title track as a single. Check it out below:

An unapologetic and in-your-face rocker, the track leaves little to the imagination with its walls of overdriven guitar, speeded-out drumming and shouted vocals. Taking clear influence from hardcore punk acts like The Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, melody and lyricism are substituted for unrelenting aggression and violent fuzz thrashing.

The germs of the band were formed in 2013, when Shaw and Ex-Cult opened for Ty Segall on his Slaughterhouse tour and the two agreed to start a band. ‘Plans were solidified’ when ‘thrash master’ Moothart joined on the drums, releasing their self-titled debut LP back in 2016.

The group also released the upcoming album’s track listing, which you can see below:
01. Killing Time
02. Pre Strike Sweep
03. Still Feeding
04. Space Rinse
05. CTA
06. Vanity
07. Disappear
08. Burned Entrance
09. Ruptured Line / Funeral Relief
10. Morning Reaper

The GØGGS project showcases the harder edge of Ty Segall, who has elsewhere dabbled in psychedelia, indie and even acoustic folk. Cutting his teeth on the Laguna Beach punk-garage circuit, Segall released his collaborative album with White Fence, Joy, just two weeks ago. Famously prolific, he has released sixteen albums and EPs in the last ten years as a solo artist alone. His last solo LP, Freedom’s Goblin, was released early this year to a warm reception by critics.

Pre Strike Sweep – out September 28th
