Three Bells

Ty Segall follows 2022's acoustic introspection opus Hello, Hi with a deeper, wilder journey to the center of t he self. With Three Bells, he's created a set of his most ambitious, elastic songs, using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication. It's an obsessive quest for an expression that answers back to the riptide always pulling him subconsciously into the depths. Questions we all ask in our own private mirrors are faced down here-and regardless of what the mysterious Three Bells mean in the context of the album's libretto, you can be assured that Ty's ringing them for himself, and for the rest of us in turn. It's a growing up and out of your head parable, but the farther out you get, the farther in you go. The two-headed suggestion of 2012's Twins has grown ever more complex, as the outside/inside world of perception dissolves into a greater world of the senses-all six or seven of them! Since Ty deals in sounds, Three Bells rings with them most of all: sounds signaling the next phase, ringing to keep you stuck, or to set you free, with guitars like voices, questioning and answering the others in their turn.
