After previously releasing singles “Void” and “Eggman,” Ty Segall has followed up and shared his plans to deliver an ambitious and self-reflective set, Three Bells, on January 26 via Drag City. The new album comes on the heels of acoustic contemplation Hello, Hi and presents the musician’s increasingly cavernous and untamed trek through life. As a preview, Segall has shared the new single “My Room” and its adjoining music video. 

“Three Bells is an obsessive quest for expression,” according to Segall’s press release. The set functions as the artist conversing with himself and the subconscious contentment when encountering lingering wonder. The album title is a nod to the libretto and Segall’s ability to present an extended vocal work that appears across all 15 tracks, five of which were collaborations with partner Denée Segall. 

The press release also includes, “Each song moves through repetitive, thematic material in its own way, building a claustrophobic/paranoia vibe, cycling bold thrusts forward into ego deaths, the one-step-forward, two-steps-back patterns framing an overriding ask: what can we do to get past the back-and-forth conversation, to arrive at a place of acceptance?” 

Piled high with electric and acoustic guitar riffs, a swinging tempo, and fuzz distortion, “My Room” is the latest peak at Segall’s ravenous ability to produce engaging material. The official music video was directed by the musician’s longtime collaborator, Matt Yoka, who captures the artist performing on stage while bananas hurl in his general direction. Watch below.
