On the Conan show last night, prolific guitarist Ty Segall had the pleasure of being the night’s musical guests. Segall along with the Freedom band debuted their new song “Fanny Dog.” The new song wasn’t the only thing Segall debuted on the Conan show, and he also took the stage to announce his upcoming new album entitled Freedom’s Goblin is on its way.
During the performance, Segall along with his band ripped through “Fanny Dog” wearing matching white outfits. It’s a rock song with guitars everywhere. Adding the three-piece horn section adds a new dimension to the track which according to Segall is in fact about his dog.
“Fanny Dog” is the seventh song teased by the guitarist from his upcoming album including “Alta,” “Meaning,” “My Lady’s on Fire” and “The Main Pretender.” The new record will be available to purchase and stream starting January 26th of 2018 via Drag City. It will feature 19 brand new songs and judging by the tracklist, and every song seems like a winner. Freedom’s Goblin includes “Fanny Dog” which is about Segall’s dog as well as the cover of Hot Chocolate’s “Every 1’s a Winner.”There will be an extensive North American tour that will begin shortly after the album’s release.
The concept of the album can be best described by a press release which says; “The goal was getting free: embracing any approach necessary to communicate new heights and depths, seeking new places for the fuzz to land among octaving harmonies, dancefloor grooves, synths, saxes and horns, jams, post-Nicky-Hopkins r’n’b electric piano vibes, children-of-the-corn psycho-rebellions, old country waltzes and down-by-the-river shuffles. Basically, the free-est bunch of pop songs Ty’s ever put on tape—free to love or to be alone; to be pretty or pretty ugly; free to turn the other cheek or to turn up the volume. And of course, free to make just about any kind of song that’ll free people when they hear it—because we’re ALL Goblins and we ALL want our Freedom!”
