With Ty Segall’s continual shape-shifting, you can never be too sure what a new album may bring. For Possession, his 16th studio album, due for release on Drag City on May 30th, lyrical fables are co-written by longtime collaborator and filmmaker Matt Yoka, while his use of “strings, horns, and his own piano playing…round up his delirious guitar hooks and vocal melodies, resulting in some of his most inventive songs yet.”
Check out the new single and title track below. Yoka wrote the lyrics to the song that opens: “A bible placed beside the butter by a farmer of misfortune in the winter”.

As Drag City highlights for this release: as a non-musician, Matt’s language sense is different from the one Ty’s amassed as a player of music, and on Possession, each acts as writer and editor as they throw the conceptual ball back and forth translating general vibes and feels into wicked lyric imagery.
Segall is part way through a solo acoustic tour throughout North America. He and his band will support Primus on tour throughout North America this fall with a headline run on the horizon for October.
