Digging into his creative process, the way these particular songs unfolded, the gear he used, the joy of finally having his own full home studio, and more, Segall used the opportunity of the interview to, in fact, speak on behalf of his record a little bit-but through it all, his focus was on one thing and one thing alone: the music. That’s why he decided to drop Harmonizer sans warning-on a call with American Songwriter, he explained that he just wanted people to listen to the music themselves, rather than sift through a couple of months of anticipatory promotional material first.

And perhaps “reinvention” is the most apt word-while the crisp, modern atmosphere achieved through these new techniques is a fresh page for Segall, he still approaches each song with his usual sense of devotion, endowing them with his unique touch. From drum machines to synth lines to utterly smashed-sounding guitar parts, his explorative process merited a fruitful reinvention of his sound. As a result, the 10-track record sees the garage rock icon embrace all sorts of new avenues for sonic exploration. Always one for trying out new things, Segall wanted this latest offering to feel like a departure from his most recent release ( First Taste 2019).
