‘Human psych-rock factory Ty Segall isn’t the type to sit still for long. Last summer, Segall released his surprise LP Harmonizer. Earlier this year, he followed that LP with his soundtrack for the documentary Whirlybird. And now Segall has announced plays to drop a whole new LP on the world this summer, and he’s shared its absolute rocker of a first single.’
‘Ty Segall has announced a new album, “Hello, Hi”, and shared its title track. “Hello, Hi” is due out July 22 via Drag City. ‘
‘“Hello, Hi” is a thundering ruckus of electric sound. Alternating between his vulnerable pleas and bashing strums, Segall’s wish is simple: “I leave a gift and I want to cry / A box of wood and a curtain / I just want to say hi.”’
‘Ty Segall has announced his next album, “Hello, Hi”. The Harmonizer follow-up arrives in July 22 via Segall’s longtime label home Drag City. Segall predominantly self-recorded the album at his home in California. Today, he has shared the album’s title track.’
‘Allow Ty Segall to welcome you to his new album. The psych-rocker’s 14th studio LP, Hello, Hi, is due out July 22nd via Drag City, and as a preview, he shared its rousing title track today. Additionally, Segall has unveiled a run of tour dates across North America and Europe for Summer 2022.’
‘Ty Segall has announced his 14th solo album “Hello, Hi” that will be out July 22 via Drag City. After the synthesized gleam of Harmonizer, he’s going in a different direction this time: “Tossing down straight acoustic shots with electric guitar back, ‘Hello, Hi’ rides through the valley of yer ol’ Canyon legends, finding an isolated place to unspool Ty’s copious reserves of nervous energy beneath an open sky.’
“‘Kepler-22b’ showcases all the hidden talents of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard — namely that they’ve got a dynamic, irrepressible pop instinct.”
‘Over the course of its 16 tracks, Omnium Gatherum (which is Latin for “a collection of miscellaneous people or things”) constantly surprises, at least on the first few listens. The experience is like wandering through an unfamiliar house, peeking in each room to see what’s behind the door and finding something new and different almost every time. ‘
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have dropped a video for the track “Kepler-22B” from their new album Omnium Gatherum dropping Friday, April 22.
“Kepler-22b” samples Barney Mcall’s “Yemaya One.” The same day Omnium Gatherum makes its long-awaited debut, tickets go on sale for a third show at Red Rocks Amphitheater following two already sold-out appearances. Tickets for other dates are on sale at the official King Giz website.’
‘Melbourne psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have returned with yet another new album, Omnium Gatherum. Not only does it serve as the band’s 20th album to date, it is also their first double LP ever. Omnium Gatherum is a coherent, genre-bending 16-track album that’s sure to stick with you for a long time.’
‘Led by the singles “The Dripping Tap,” “Magenta Mountain,” and “Kepler-22b,” not only is the studio set the Australian psych rockers’ landmark 20th album, it’s the first double LP in their more than decade-long career.
‘Considering their talent and tenacity, it was only a matter of time before they pushed themselves further than ever by creating a double album. Indeed, Omnium Gatherum — which has more in common with 2021’s welcomingly exploratory Butterfly 3000 than it does last month’s avant-garde Made in Timeland — is essentially the band’s magnum opus.
‘While it’s easy to admire the sheer chutzpah of King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard opening their twentieth album in 10 years with the 18-minute epic The Dripping Tap, they become that much more easy to love once the song’s immediate accessibility becomes instantly apparent. ‘
‘The blissed out, kaleidoscopic new song samples Barney McAll’s ‘Yemaya One’, a track from the Australian jazz pianist and composer’s 2005 album ‘Mother of Dreams and Secrets’.’
‘The band’s Stu Mackenzie says the album title is “literally Latin for ‘a collection of miscellaneous people or things’.”
He adds, “This recording session felt significant. Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. ‘
‘When it comes to approaching the infamous double-alarm, most bands should pause for thought before taking the plunge. King Gizzard aren’t most bands, however. Now a decade into their recording career, ‘Omnium Gatherum’ is the group’s 20th studio release, the past three created despite a global pandemic.’
‘“I hadn’t heard any of his stuff before,” Craig said in a statement, “but remember putting it on and being blown away straight up. I remember thinking damn this is literally a sampler’s dream. It took me a while before I actually realized he was from Melbourne too. I guess it’s funny like that, sometimes you gotta travel halfway around the world to discover an inspiring piece of music made by someone who probably lives on the same block as you”’
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s sprawling new double album Omnium Gatherum is out this Friday. Where previous albums find the Australian group focusing on a style (thrash metal, boogie, pop) or concept (microtonal instruments), Omnium Gatherum is more of a smorgasbord, offering up little tastes — and some big ones — of everything they’ve dabbled in over the last 10 years.’
In a few days, prolific psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will release their new album, Omnium Gatherum, which follows last year’s Butterfly 3000. So far, the Australian band shared an 18-minute single “The Dripping Tap” and “Magenta Mountain.” Now, they’re back with another album cut: “Kepler-22b,” which also has a music video.
You may know Ezra Furman‘s music from her previous band Ezra Furman and the Harpoons, or potentially from Netflix’s hit show Sex Education for which Furman provides the soundtrack. In any case, Furman delivered a solid set of heartfelt, genre-spanning anthems.
‘Mac DeMarco has announced a number of new North American tour dates. The shows take place across the United States in November. Before then, DeMarco has additional concerts lined up in Europe and the United States. And, tomorrow (April 6), he’ll be opening for the Strokes at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. ‘
‘Ezra Furman releases a new single, “Book Of Our Names,” out today on ANTI-/Bella Union. This song follows last month’s single, “Point Me Toward The Real,” Furman’s first solo release since 2019’s Twelve Nudes and her stint soundtracking Netflix’s hit show Sex Education. “Book Of Our Names” is sparse but deeply emotive, with Furman’s voice guiding through the pulsing guitars. ‘
‘Ezra Furman says new single “Book of Our Names” is “what it feels like to live together under an empire that doesn’t value your lives. I sing it as a Jew and as a trans woman, knowing well the stakes and consequences of being part of a hated population. But it is a protest song intended for use by any movement for collective survival and freedom.’
‘ Ezra Furman’s latest song title, “Book Of Our Names,” might sound familiar — that’s because the indie rocker’s newest song is inspired by the Hebrew title for the Bible’s Book of Exodus.
Furman said the track, released Monday, is “a protest song intended for use by any movement for collective survival and freedom.” In a statement, she said she sings it “as a Jew and as a trans woman.”’
‘Furman had this to say about the song in a press release: “This song is about what it feels like to live together under an empire that doesn’t value your lives. I sing it as a Jew and as a trans woman, knowing well the stakes and consequences of being part of a hated population. But it is a protest song intended for use by any movement for collective survival and freedom. ‘
‘Last month, Ezra Furman shared “Point Me Toward The Real,” her first solo single since the 2019 release of her fifth solo studio LP, Twelve Nudes. Since that record’s release, she’s been helping soundtrack the British Netflix series Sex Education. Today, she’s back with a powerful new track titled “Book Of Our Names,” sung in the style of protest songs past.’
“Book of Our Names” follows “Point Me Toward The Real,” which Furman released last month, marking her first solo offering since her 2019 album Twelve Nudes. “Point Me Toward the Real” and “Book of Our Names” also mark her first new music since coming out as a transgender woman in 2021.’
“Point Me Toward The Real” is Ezra Furman’s first solo release since coming out as trans in 2021, and judging by the track, she’s done dealing with anybody’s nonsense. “Point me to the real motherf–kers,” Furman sings.
Furman, a stalwart name in indie-rock and the musician behind the soundtrack for Netflix show “Sex Education,” turned out a dynamic set at Container Bar. “Psalm 151,” written about refugees, was gorgeously melancholy in a “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” way. Elsewhere, Furman either sang like she was remembering deep pain or entering a rock fugue state.
