Crack open your morning with a fresh pile of eggs and a new song and video from Ty Segall!
On his new single, Ty Segall’s finger is pointed strictly into the mirror. Ty’s the Eggman. Like Bowie’s “Fame” twisted from winking plaint into wide-eyed repulsion, “Eggman” dances to a relentless, swerving beat with queasy, staggering horror, and sprays of zygotic guitar juice. Whatever doesn’t get eaten – or won’t stay down – is descended upon by buzzing maggots of noise.
“Eggman” was co-written by Ty and Denée Segall and its video sees them joining directorial forces again. It contrasts the sweet old-fashioned imagery of a child’s breakfast of eggs with the flying paranoia of the song, and Ty’s forced march on a dozen hard-boiled eggs. He likes ‘em over-easy as well, once every few years, but getting ten down during the length of the song? It’s too much, too soon. Or is it?
“Eggman” follows the release of the recent “nearly seven-minute leviathan” (Brooklyn Vegan), “Void,” praised by Rolling Stone as “a sprawling, shape-shifting song. The first half drifts across a prog-y expanse, uneasy and mesmerizing, while the end settles in with a heavy guitar crunch.” Ty will be playing select cities this fall and begins a west coast run in February, with a three-week spring stint following soon after. Today, he announces a hometown show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on February 23rd, tickets go on sale Friday, September 29th at 11AM CST/Noon EST.
