Jun 04, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Photography by Denée Segall Ty Segall

The ever-prolific Ty Segall has announced yet another new album, First Taste, and shared a video for its first single, “Taste.” First Taste is due out August 2 via Drag City. Check out the “Taste” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as Segall’s upcoming tour dates.

A press release says First Taste features instrumentation previously unexplored by Segall, including “koto, recorder, bouzouki, harmonizer, mandolin, saxophones and brass, voices, and a sprinkling of keys.” Also, when the drums are heard on the left speaker it’s Segall playing, but when they are heard on the right speaker it’s Charles Moothart playing the kit.

Segall’s most recent albums before this one were the covers album, Fudge Sandwich, and the live album, Deforming Lobes.
