One of indie/alt rock’s best artists of the past decade, San Francisco guitarist and songwriter Ty Segall, has dropped a new video single, “Feel Good.”
And, yes, it does feel good, in an edgy, swaggering way. “Feel Good” chugs along with a throbbing beat and spikey guitar riffs. Denee Segall lends sultry vocals and attire throughout. The storyline features the couple in various poses and driving an old 70’s gas-guzzler through the nighttime streets marked by vivid technicolor scenes.
It is from his riveting new album, Harmonizer, directed and produced by Joshua Erkman.
Segall also dropped a new tour list for a North American tour with the Freedom Band featuring of Ben Boye, Mikal Cronin, Emmett Kelly, and Charles Moothart.
According to Denée Segall, the track is meant to reaffirm the concept that whatever makes someone ‘feel good’ should be unrestrained, even encouraged “be it emotionally, physically, or beyond. It’s also about extending this sentiment to another who might desire this same sort of freedom but needs a little encouragement. It’s an ode to the joy that comes from loving and supporting one another unconditionally.”
Go-to assistant producer Cooper Crain was instrumental in creating the sound on Harmonizer. The LP is the first album to be recorded in Segall’s brand-new Harmonizer Studios.
From the blog Northern Transmissions: “Cooper’s own journey in rhythm, minimalism and DIY mines the depths around Ty’s vocal attack and the never-ending search for unfathomably corrosive guitar sounds. With an eye towards precision, feel, and explosive mass.”
