Director Joshua Erkman’s feature debut, “A Desert,” will be launched for world sales by Yellow Veil Pictures ahead of its Tribeca Film Festival premiere in June.
The film stars Kai Lennox, David Yow (“I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”) and Sarah Lind (“A Wounded Fawn”). Cinematographer Jay Keitel shot the film and Ty Segall composed its soundtrack and original score.
“A Desert” marks the first production from Yellow Veil Pictures in partnership with Capes & Fog, a production company founded by Erkman.
The film follows a past-his-prime photographer on a road trip across the American Southwest hoping to recapture the magic and success of his previous work. Instead, he finds himself thrust into the dark and chaotic underbelly of America and unwittingly drags his wife and a shady private detective down into the nightmare world with him.

Ty Segall has released the final single from his upcoming album, Three Bells, out January 26th via Drag City. Titled “My Best Friend,” the track is an ode to Segall’s dogs, Fanny and Herman. Stream it below.
The accompanying music video follows the Pov of one of Segall’s four-legged companions, with a camera attached to the Dachshund’s back as it embarks on a day of adventures. “My best friend is easy/ He is laying on my bed,” Segall sings in coasting falsetto over shots of beach trips, living room roughhousing, and reluctantly accepted face-licking. “He said, ‘I love you, yes I do.'”
“My Best Friend” comes after the previously-released Three Bells singles “Void,” “Eggman,” and “My Room.” The 15-song album poses as a “journey to the center of the self,” according to a press release.

After releasing Hello, Hi last year, and dropping his first feature film score (composed for Matt Yoka’s documentary, Whirlybird), Ty Segall is set to debut his next album, Three Bells, on Jan. 26, 2024. Alongside the announcement, the singer also shared the music video for new single “My Room.”
The upcoming album is being billed as “a deeper, wilder journey to the center of the self, with Ty using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication,” and an “an obsessive quest for expression.” According to a press release, the LP will include 15 songs brimming with “perspectives,...

Ty Segall has announced his latest solo album, Three Bells, due January 26th. He accompanied the announcement with the project’s latest single, “My Room.”
Three Bells was co-produced by Segall and Cooper Crain, who worked together on 2021’s Harmonizer and 2022’s Hello, Hi. The 15-song release includes five collaborations with Segall’s wife Denée Segall as well as appearances throughout with members of his backing Freedom Band including bassist Emmett Kelly.
Segall also dropped “My Room,” the third offering from Three Bells following the seven-minute jam “Void” in August and the September single, “Eggman.” The song offers plenty of the Segall’s signature movies like a twisty acoustic riff and screechy guitar effects, and yet the singer-songwriter still manages to get pelted by bananas in the accompanying music video. Watch it below.
Three Bells arrives on January 26th via Drag City. Pre-orders are ongoing.

Ty Segall has shared a doozy of a new single called “Eggman.”
The musician’s second new song this year, “Eggman” lives somewhere between Magical Mystery Tour and David Bowie’s “Fame,” layering multi-textural guitar riffs over a mid-tempo groove. But as the track struts along, it becomes increasingly paranoid: “Your mouth is agape/ And caked with eggs,” Segall chants, before the tune explodes into a cacophony of noise. “You sit and rot/ Your mind with thought.”
There’s really no telling what “eggs” symbolize in Segall’s extended metaphor here, but the one-take music video for “Eggman” — which he made with his wife and frequent creative partner Denée Segall — takes an extremely literal approach. It’s just Segall in a cowboy-inspired getup, scarfing down hard-boiled eggs until he’s visibly suffering. Really, it’s a lot. Also, where is he purchasing reasonably-priced eggs in this economy? It is a disconcerting video,...

Indomitable garage rocker Ty Segall is back with a new song, “Void,” as well as dates for a massive 2024 North American tour.
Clocking in at nearly seven minutes, “Void” is 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: “Through a mirror you’ll see clearer,” Segall sings in the song’s final moments, “The stones are made of dust/And the metal is only rust.”

Ty Segall has announced a new set of 2024 tour dates through next spring, and he’s paired the news a nearly seven-minute-spanning new single “Void.”
Segall’s 2024 North American trek kicks off with two nights at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall on February 20th and 21st. He’ll resume in April with stops to Nashville, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and more before wrapping in Sacramento on May 11th. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 30th at 12:00 p.m. Et via Ticketmaster.
Segall also shared “Void,” his first new material of 2023. Despite its vacuous title, the song ripples from an peculiar acoustic riff into a seismic dirge more befitting of its accompanying psychedelic trip of a music video, which was co-directed by the singer-songwriter and his wife Denée Segall. Watch it below.

Sasami has shared an alternate version of her track “Tried to Understand,” featuring some bonus shredding from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis.
This grungier take on “Tried to Understand” is vastly different from the one that appears on Sasami’s most recent album, Squeeze. The original, with its breezy acoustic guitar strum and country twang is — to borrow Sasami’s description to Rolling Stone earlier this year — “truly a fucking Sheryl Crow pop song.” But this new take is a fully electric blowout, with Mascis’ characteristically ferocious guitar work spiraling around Sasami’s cool vocals.

Jeff Tweedy has released a cover of Roky Erickson’s “For You (I’d Do Anything),” from the upcoming compilation, May the Circle Remain Unbroken: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, set to arrive July 17th via Light in the Attic (a special vinyl version will be released as a Record Store Day exclusive).
Tweedy offers a wholly unique take on “For You (I’d Do Anything),” doing away with the tender country pluck of Erickson’s original, and instead using a mix of synths and pianos to craft a sweet and meditative soundscape.

When Roky Erickson’s 1981 cult classic album The Evil One was rereleased in 1987, it opened with the skronky “Two-Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer),” a song loosely inspired by the believe-it-or-not head-transplant experiments conducted by a Soviet surgeon in the Fifties. Over a snaking electric guitar lead, Erickson howled about “working in the Kremlin with a two-headed dog.”
Margo Price and her band put their own spin on the song for an upcoming tribute album to Erickson. While she flip-flops the title to “Red Temple Prayer (Two-Headed Dog),” the Nashville singer-songwriter...

Sometime during the mid-2000s, in a Buffalo, New York Circuit City, I came across a dog-eared book of music-industry advice from the 1980s. I didn’t buy it, and I can’t source it, for it is un-Googleable, but as an 11-year-old I sat and read the entire thing while my dad combed through home stereo systems. Among this book’s outdated maxims: “If your first record is a double album, you are a prick.” Though undoubtedly a potshot at soft-rock titans Chicago (of “Saturday in the Park” and “25 or 6 to 4” infamy) and their 1969 debut Chicago Transit Authority, which clocked in at 80 minutes of yacht rock and instrumental wank, it stuck with me as a shorthand way to tease overambitious musical debuts. I was reminded of that maxim, this week, while listening to Caleb Landry Jones’ 65-minute debut LP The Mother Stone.

Long before the “Skip Intro” era, people have lamented the demise of the theme song. There certainly are times when the days of the wistful broadcast sitcom opening number (or even the days of theme songs that parodied them) seem firmly in the rearview mirror.
But with “Succession” Season 2 coming to a close on Sunday, the rapid rise of Nicholas Britell’s opening 90-second orchestral drum loop earworm spectacular is cause for rethinking that assumption. Maybe it’s just the law of large numbers, but even with the glut of shows that now reduce their openings to a simple title card and a “created by” credit, there are plenty of TV themes besides Britell’s worth celebrating.

Maybe it’s just the law of large numbers, but even with the glut of shows that now reduce their openings to a simple title card and a “created by” credit, there are plenty of TV themes besides Britell’s worth celebrating.

The Dils were one of the best bands on the West Coast in the late Seventies, known for the their endearing sibling vocal blend and strong social messages. 1978’s “Class War” blended both of those elements: “I wanna war, between the rich and the poor / I wanna fight and know what I’m fighting for in a class war,” brothers Chip and Tony Kinman in the one-minute-forty-one-second classic.

Ty Segall delivered a stripped-down performance of his new song, "My Lady's on Fire," on The Opposition With Jordan Klepper Monday. The track will appear on Segall's upcoming album, Freedom's Goblin, out January 26th. Segall was the first musical performance on The Opposition – a fitting choice as he wrote the show's theme song.
Segall embraced the breezy acoustic vibes underpinning the studio version of "My Lady's On Fire," though without the track's shuffling drums and crisp horns, the twang of the rocker's vocals made this performance particularly melancholic.

Fortunately, Dba cofounder Matthew Conboy had the good sense to film just about everything that happened between news of the warehouse space's closing and the night of its raucous last gasp of life.
