“Hello Hi”, the latest offering from Ty Segall (22 July, Drag City) is described as his most relaxed and complete production to date, expansively rendered by Ty, mostly by himself, at home.
Today, he reveals “Saturday Pt. 2” which concludes a mini-suite that forms the penultimate movement of “Hello, Hi”. While the gentle, humble opening hint at isolation, dissonance footsteps are approaching in the form of Mikal Cronin whose saxophone makes a blazing mid-point entry that lights up the senses.
In Drag City’s own words: “Fuzz-free guitars roll forth, ringing with consonance and humble purpose. Ty‘s reassuring murmur leads the way until Mikal Cronin’s elegant saxophone throws open the windows, losing joy, hysteria and all the other simple pains and pleasures that have sat behind closed doors for so long. It’s a slow-roiling escape-anthem, finally sighting what’s been missing and wished-upon for what seems like forever: the time we find to play, the magical expanse of Saturday.”
