Stoked to hear more about this since Ty Segall dropped some hints a few months ago – thanks to Spin, we now know that the duo’s collaborative effort, entitled Hair, features Tim Presley on lead guitar/bass and Ty on drums/guitar. The album drops sometime in April on Drag City and will be supported with a tour that starts in SF Friday March 3rd at Great American Music Hall. Buy tix for that here. Ty also talks up his new solo album, due out in September, as “sounding really fast and hard and aggressive,” so make sure to check out the full interview.
