Ty Segall Announces New Album 'SLEEPER' [VIDEO]: Rocker Makes Record Promo Trailer, Release Date August 20, 2013

After releases three albums in 2013 and two rarities compilations earlier this year, Ty Segall announces today that his new album SLEEPER will be released August 20 on Drag City. Just like his album from last year Twins, this new release is credited under his name instead of "The Ty Segall Band." To announce SLEEPER, Segall released a promotion trailer featuring him napping or resting in various locations.

On top of his solo career (and related career with Ty Segall Band and Ty Segall and White Fence) Segall is also a member of the bands Fuzz, The Traditional Fools, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Sic Alps, and The Perverts. In these acts he plays the guitar, sings and/or plays the drums.

This multi-talented musician hails from the San Francisco Bay Area in California and was an instrumental contributor to the garage rock revival "movement." His music covers the genres of garage rock, lo-fi, and (maybe the most dead-on) description noise rock.

To explain more about Segall, here is an excerpt from a 2012 cover story about Ty featured on Pitchfork. This sample of the article talks briefly about the end of one of Ty's sets (written by Aaron Seitko):

At the end of his set, the audience gets a glimpse of Ty Segall's ape self. Throughout the night, one of the security beefcakes at The Hoxton in Toronto has been getting progressively more aggressive about giving stage divers the heave-ho. Ty is not very pleased with this. So, during the last 30 seconds of closer "Wave Goodbye", the 25-year-old garage-rock shredder-who is not a beefcake-decides to have a go at him.

After the muscle head shoves a leather-jacket-clad goofball back into the crowd, Ty shoves the bouncer, who loses his balance, but flips around in time to bring the singer down with him. All three tumble into a mass of sweaty, pogo-ing kids. As outros go, it's definitely a step up from the usual "we've got some CDs in the back" routine.
