Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.Label: Drag CityRelease Date: 28th August We're a Ty Segall shop, I'm a Ty Segallman and the day I don't get excited by him releasing a record then send batter my doors down because I've lost the will. I can't see myself ever not being hyped for his work but NOTHING gets me hyped more than when he's fuzzing out with the heavy garage rockers and so my Segall'meter is in the read for 'Chrome' with Emmett Kelly (check Cairo Gang please) and Mikal Cronin in the band with Evan Burrows and Ben Boye. Big riffs, massive hooks and another essential from our favourite boy. In the spring of 2025, right around the release of Possession, Ty Segallstarted hearing voices, calmly at first, but soon screaming: “Get theband back together!!!”Immediately, his mind began working, creating, collecting and collat-ing riffs for songs, an album that he and the band—Ben Boye, EvanBurrows, Mikal Cronin & Emmett Kelly—will come to all call Chrome.Chrome—the element, not the album —is shiny, reflective, resistantto corrosion. Chrome the album’s got that too: in hard-springing rockstrung with lyrically allusive passages moving furtive and bleak throughlabyrinthine paths in the darkness. Joining social phenomena andautobiographical dream imagery in song-sequenced, head-snappingflashes, hitting left/right hemispheres fast and furiously. In massiveriffs and thudding power in the rhythm core, twin-guitar attack andparry, tightly arrayed lines of fuzz distortion, keyboard textures of brightand thickness. All mixed immediate and flexible, colorful and clean,spicy-sweet, with Ty’s vocals of vinegar and sand, wine and grains ofsilver nitrate, pointing the way. That’s Chrome.The band came together fast and hard, their five heads writing halfthe songs here, with others featuring Ty and Evan collabing, MattYoka and Denée Segall writing some too. Accounting, we believe, forits high-performing social nature and hot rocks. Its guitars slammedimmaculate, big waves & dark apocolypto energy bonfires on thebeach, from proto to punk to grunch, projected from the crowd-sourcedenergy of their mind-meld to shake the cages of the larger collectivebeyond.
