Ty Segall has returned to announce Love Rudiments, his second album release of 2024, and shared the record’s first single, “The Dance (Edit).”
Love Rudiments is out August 30th via Drag City and follows Three Bells, Segall’s album from January of this year. According to a press release, Love Rudiments is centered on drums and percussion, and is an entirely instrumental album. Segall claims that despite many fans knowing him as a singing guitar player, the drums were his first love, and Love Rudiments features the musician tracking a romantic arc across four song cycles with percussion as the primary instrument.
Ty Segall has also announced a 2025 acoustic tour, which will commence in February and will feature the musician playing solo (without any percussion) across North America. The tour kicks off in San Diego on February 20th and runs through cities like San Francisco, Vancouver, Austin, Nashville, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Cleveland, Chicago, and more. The tour ends with a date in Boise, Idaho on April 30th; see the full list of dates below.
Tickets for Ty Segall’s 2025 acoustic tour will go on-sale on Friday, July 12 at 11:00 a.m. CST via the artist’s website. Tickets for a handful of dates will also be available via Ticketmaster.
“The Dance (Edit)” is the first offering from Love Rudiments, and Segall absolutely lays it down on the drum set throughout the three-minute track. It’s the third movement of Love Rudiments’ second suite, and is themed around a couple’s first dance — meanwhile, in addition to the drum set, Segall employs vibraphones, a tambourine, electronic drum pads, and woodblocks in the mix. Listen to “The Dance (Edit)” below.
Love Rudiments will be Ty Segall’s 15th(!) album. The musician also has a slew of tour dates set for this summer and fall before his 2025 tour, including an appearance at Hopscotch Festival in North Carolina and a run of European acoustic tour dates.
