There are times when purpose is overrated. What’s the point in filming Ty Segall‘s band playing their scorching garage rock in a tiny, closet-like space? I have no idea, but it sounds great. The video was recorded in the basement of the Drag City label offices and is part of a new video series called Drag City Limits. Check it out.

With Slaughterhouse out June 26 (and streamable on Spin), Ty Segall is on tour in July (but not on the West Coast). Full dates below.
