Ty Segall is releasing two new records on August 28 via Drag City: a full-length titled Chrome and an accompanying EP called Love Fuzzz. The twin drops, led by the single “Black Paint”, mark his latest move after a year that included a return to pared-back songwriting and a steady stream of live material.
Chrome is presented as a sprawling outing from Segall, recorded at Sonic Ranch with collaborator and engineer Cooper Crain. For this project he worked with a backing group that includes Ben Boye, Evan Burrows, Mikal Cronin and Emmett Kelly, and the sessions produced both the album and a set of offcuts that make up the EP.
The shorter release, Love Fuzzz, collects material left over from the Chrome sessions. Its title track is a reworking of an earlier cut from Segall’s Twins era, purposefully retitled with an extra “z.” Together the two releases give listeners both a concentrated set of new songs and a glimpse at adjacent experiments from the same studio run.
The lead single’s video was shot by filmmaker Alex Bulli at multiple live shows, capturing the band in performance rather than staged locations. Earlier this year Segall also issued a live EP, credited to his occasional ensemble the Muggers, so the August 28 releases continue a pattern of alternating studio and live documents in his catalog.

Why this matters now
For followers of contemporary garage and indie rock, these releases reintroduce Segall in a more layered studio setting after a recent leaner record. The dual format — album plus complementary EP — offers both a main statement and supplemental material that could shape set lists and streaming attention through the fall.
Fans can expect the single and its visual companion to be available across usual streaming and video platforms ahead of the full releases; the records themselves expand an already large and active discography while keeping Segall’s output front of mind for critics and playlists alike.
