Possession

Description

For Ty Segall's 16th album, Possession, he runs the orchestra in his head with an unwavering vision for certain archetypal American stories, a quest channeled into ten uninterrupted anthems. A year and a half after the stark identity-shredding opus of his Three Bells song cycle, Ty has teleported deep into his psychic innards, discovering new inspired sonics at every turn. With lyrics co-written by long-time collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, Ty’s sparkling rhythmic arrangements move with a fresh scansion, inviting sweeps of strings and brass to further the charge with rightful poise. Rich with singing guitars and wizardly brass riffing lasciviously over the banks of Ty’s harmonious vocal chorus, Possession holds some of Ty’s most inspired songs yet.
