Today artist Ty Segall shares a new single and music video for “Void.” With his new single, the artist is bringing it all in a sustained blast that begins with a shimmering frisson of acoustic guitars and a sub-aqueous release of oxygen rising as bubbles.
“Void” upends some of the expectations a seasoned Segall listener may bring to the song, building slowly, riding its initial lick through swells, drifting dreamily with the undertow pulling urgently beneath, withholding verse-chorus-type payoffs until the latter stages, then building towering climaxes on top of each other.
Directed by Ty and Denée Segall, the video for “Void” casts Ty’s mind through memory, and awe-inspiring vistas of his natural world, experienced as a senses-overwhelming nightmare of mirage, illusion and dread-filled challenge.
Experienced as a senses-overwhelming nightmare of mirage, illusion and dread-filled challenge. Wandering landscapes saturated with altered color, in and out of the focus of the lens, it recalls the way recollection is filtered and distorted in strange ways, with quizzical symbology and dreamlike contradictions.
In light of if the release of “Void,” Segall will be playing select cities this Fall, including two shows at Topanga Canyon’s Theatricum Botanicum next month. Also the artist has two Great American Music Hall shows in February and a three-week spring run. All dates are listed below and tickets for the newly announced shows are on sale August 30 at 11 a.m. CST/ EST at ty-segall.com.
