Video: Ty Segall - "The Hill" - 09.10.2012
Ty Segall's third album of 2012, Twins, is out Oct. 9 via Drag City Records. It's first video, however, arrives today. In the clip for "The Hill," dudes in dog costumes play guitar, staticky transmissions blanket everything and a creepy looking woman (?) phases in and out. It's like a highly troubling surveillance cam, in color. Watch it below.
