A literary set of lyrics co-written by his longtime collaborator, filmmaker&nbsp;Matt Yoka,&nbsp;paint an abiding view of quintessentially American stories. All the while, there are invigorated new sounds around every bend – glittering rhythm arrangements feature more of Ty’s own piano woodshedding than ever, joined in battle by sweeping movements of strings and horns. Rife with singing guitar leads and banks of Ty’s vocal harmonies,&nbsp;Possession&nbsp;features some of Ty’s most inspired songs to date. Tapping Yoka to write with him was one of the keys to this new music. As a non-musician, Yoka’s language sense is different from the one Ty’s amassed as a player of music. With the trust they’ve developed over the years — brainstorming the visual worlds of&nbsp;Goodbye Bread,&nbsp;Manipulator,&nbsp;Emotional Mugger, and music of Yoka’s&nbsp;Whirlybird&nbsp;documentary — they throw the conceptual ball back and forth to translate a general feeling or a vibe into wicked lyric imagery, each acting as writer and editor in the process. Be it de Toqueville, duBois, George H. Nash, Howard Zinn, Bob Dylan or&nbsp;Smile-era Beach Boys, Ty’s sharpened narrative approach and storytelling takes a page from everyone’s history.Today’s single, “Fantastic Tomb,” is an epic story-song. Desperate for something he can hold onto, our hero takes a job hitting the house of “a man worth more than a country could make,” only to find the treasure hunt to be just another ride to nowhere. The song is a modern American noir-cum-classic rock hoedown, scored with Ty’s burnt-filament lead guitar and ingeniously sealed with&nbsp;Mikal Cronin’s saxophone section. Possession&nbsp;is Ty Segall’s own bizarre traversing of the American landscape, taking back alleys through complicated cityscapes and singing about the end of the rope while resisting defeat — suggesting an ecstatic new empire to build as he cruises the countryside. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theblacktones.com/the-band">The Black Tones</a> <iframe-embed frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>
