Prolific psych rocker Ty Segall will tour NZ in summer 2023 accompanied by the Freedom Band featuring collaborators Mikal Cronin (bass), Charles Moothart (drums), and Emmett Kelly (guitar), playing alongside Ben Boye (piano) and Shannon Lay. Jess Cornelius (who the Guardian called "a kind of 21st century amalgam of Karen Dalton's delicate folk and 70s jam band Americana") will join Ty in both Wellington and Auckland.

Ty Segall  and the Freedom Band will be arriving in NZ fresh from playing extensively on US and European tours, before heading to our side of the world to play to lucky audiences in Australia and New Zealand. 

Prolific American songwriter Ty Segall will release new album 'Hello, Hi' on July 22nd. The lead single and title track "Hello, Hi", is a fresh-spun earworm singing the delicate brutality of introversion. Metal alchemizing bubblegum the old-fashioned way: guitar licks haloed by a daisy chain of melody. Vocals flutter like butterflies, promising to break us out of the god-damned bubble that runs our lives.

Radiating from the same mind fields as Goodbye Bread and Sleeper, mixed with shard edges of contrast and contradiction from things like Freedom’s Goblin, Manipulator, and First Taste, “Hello, Hi” is Ty’s most relaxed and complete production to date, an ebb-and flow fusion of words and music offering abstraction and acceptance as it wrestles itself through a difficult time. Your life and what you make of it - throughout “Hello, Hi,” Ty Segall charts a passage through its enduring tangles honestly, with clarity and confusion.

This album follows the surprise release of ‘Harmonizer’, the first new solo album in 2 years. 

Infamous for his smokin' hot skills on guitar, Segall digs out the synths for Harmonizer, finding groovy spaces to hang between fuzzy garage punk / glam rock mania and retro-futuristic electronic pulse action — recorded aptly enough at his new Harmonizer Studios.
