Ty Segall

American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ty Segall began his career in bands on the California underground scene, such as the garage rock band Epsilons, which released the albums Epsilons (2006) and Killed ’Em Deader ’N a Six Card Poker Hand (2007).

In 2008, he launched his solo career with the cassette Horn the Unicorn (later reissued on vinyl) and his self-titled debut LP, Ty Segall. In the following years, he released Lemons (2009, on Goner Records), Melted (2010), and Goodbye Bread (2011), the latter marking the beginning of his long-standing partnership with Drag City.

His profile grew in 2012 with Twins, one of the most acclaimed albums in his discography. In the years that followed, he released the acoustic album Sleeper (2013) and Manipulator (2014), which incorporated elements of glam rock and psychedelia into his signature garage rock sound. He released Emotional Mugger in 2016 and, in 2017, his second self-titled album, produced by Steve Albini.

In 2018, Segall released the expansive Freedom’s Goblin, resumed his collaboration with White Fence on the album Joy, and released Fudge Sandwich, a project featuring covers of tracks originally recorded by Funkadelic, the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, and John Lennon.

With First Taste (2019), he expanded his sonic palette by pushing electric guitars into the background to prioritize the mandolin, bouzouki, and synthesizers. In his home studio during the pandemic, he recorded Harmonizer (2021), which focused on electronic textures and controlled rhythms, followed by Hello, Hi (2022), albums that returned to an acoustic and intimate approach.

In 2024, he released Three Bells, an album that moves between garage rock, psychedelia, folk, and experimental passages, as well as Love Rudiments, an entirely instrumental work centered on percussion and structured into four suites.

In 2025, he released Possession, his 16th studio album, featuring lyrics co-written with filmmaker Matt Yoka and arrangements enriched by piano, strings, and wind instruments. His discography gained a new chapter in August 2026 with Chrome, recorded with his band after a month of rehearsals to capture a heavy, urgent sound that closely mirrors the energy of their live shows.
