Ty Segall and Corey Madden of Color Green have formed the new duo Freckle, and will release their self-titled debut album on January 31 via Ty’s God? imprint through Drag City. There’s not a lot of concrete info about the project, but with both Ty and Corey part of the LA psych scene, they were bound to cross musical paths. Here’s Drag City’s promo blurb:
When a Freckle pops up, that’s when you know that the sun has gotten through. Don’t let ‘em tell you it’s skin damage – more like the sign of time well spent, as always, in the light. Freckle the band’s like that. Freckle is, then, a Californian, the hive mind of Corey Madden and Ty Segall. This LP reminds all of us that when the clouds are out you can still get sunburned.
You can listen to “Taraval,” which is quite lovely ’60s-style acoustic psych pop, and Ty’s tenor and Corey’s baritone sound really good on the harmonies. Listen below.
Ty released his all-percussion album Love Rudiments in September and will be on an acoustic tour in early 2025.
Color Green released their first album for New West earlier this year.
