The tireless Ty Segall‘s spent most of 2015 touring hard and playing in other bands, but today he’s officially announced his next studio record. As speculated by a few publications who received copies of an album dubbed onto VHS tapes earlier this week, the new full-length is called Emotional Mugger. It’s 11 tracks long and will be out January 22 on Drag City, according to a press release. There’s little more info available at this point, considering that the rest of the press release takes the form of absurdist poetry. Check that below along with the album’s track list and a slate of upcoming tour dates.

Get in the booth –
punch in the number
when they pick up
don’t say a word
just listen
shout at the double
from the damned from
a dry throat
dry eye chuckle
insistent / elastic (but never plastic)
thick / butt jump pierced by
the kids
sweet angel voice sinister
(what are they thinking)
guitars sliced with scribble
graffiti sprawled across the hemispheres; stuttered, stunted, dual-mono machine dreams flashing sudden stereophobic and back again / two screens alone together
squeezing shaking oozing metallic pool like brain blood,
slowly draining away all mental life.
shaking ass / nihility at most corrodes
candy’s gone no more
fun
