WATCH / LISTEN TO "BLACK PAINT" Ty Segall shifts into sharp metallic form on his new album, Chrome, to be released August 28. Pre-cleared for flight in full rock congress with his whole band in tow, Chrome is a death-defying dive into Ty’s surrealist worlds and dark apocalyptic passages, thumping in the monstrous vein of records like Slaughterhouse and Twins. Today, Ty releases the first single, “Black Paint,” with a new music video. Ty opens “Black Paint” by crying out “There's no why my true love / only me and you" — just before the ship-sinking guitars crash over everything! Tearing open the seal on a number about true love and “the men who drink black paint,” Segall and the band emit raw lickage and power with riffs jangling into bumping, full-fuzzed grungiosity. It’s a song of abomination: punk meets pop in a thrash/lunge, darkly disturbing and super tight. The music video, filmed at various Segall shows by Alex Bulli, reflects the five-headed demon at play: Ty, Ben Boye, Evan Burrows, Mikal Cronin & Emmett Kelly. In the spring of 2025, right around the release of Possession, Ty Segall started hearing voices, calmly at first, but soon screaming: “GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!” Immediately, he got to work on an album that he and the band — Ben on keys and piano, Evan on drums, Mikal on bass and vocals, and Emmett on guitar and vocals — would come to all call Chrome. Their five heads came together fast and hard, writing half the songs here; other tracks feature Ty and Evan co-writing, with Matt Yoka and Denée Segall contributing too. Chrome shines as one of Ty’s heaviest records to date: twin-guitar attack and parry, tightly arrayed lines of fuzz distortion, keyboard textures bright and thick. The live n’ loaded feel of the record lends to a month straight of playing through the songs together before recording for six days at Sonic Ranch with Cooper Crain (Bitchin Bajas, Stereolab). Alongside the release of Chrome will be a limited release of a new EP, “Love Fuzzz,” with two sides of cave-dripped reflections from the mirrored edges of the Chrome sessions: “Love Fuzzz,” a frenzied sludge & stoner take on a Twins classic, and “My Pet Guru,” hypnotic art psych fried-kraut air. Chrome and “Love Fuzzz” will release simultaneously on August 28, 2026. Ty Segall and his band will headline the sold-out 2026 KEXP BBQ on August 22 before touring through the U.K. and Europe this September; tickets are on sale now.
