Ty Segall - "Distraction" from the 2022 album "Hello, Hi" on Drag City.

\\n

From glam rock to garage to experimental noise,\\xa0Ty Segall has covered it all over his 14-album discography. On his latest, titled\\xa0\\u201cHello, Hi\\u201d, he takes an intimate acoustic approach to songs that\\xa0gestated during the pandemic. The album title itself acknowledges the strange isolation of that period, and how he missed just talking to people.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s a simple sentiment,\\u201d Segall told Esquire. \\u201cA salutation. And just, how nice that is. When you can\\u2019t do it. And it\\u2019s like, you don\\u2019t ever think about it, until it\\u2019s gone. Just saying, \\u2018Hey!\\u2019 It\\u2019s a simple thing.\\u201d He adds, "It was like, \\u2018now here I\\u2019m in this room, and I\\u2019m daydreaming about all this weird shit around me, just, the window and the cement floors. And I just want to say hi.\\u201d\\xa0
