WHIRLYBIRD OST by Ty Segall LP

Ty Segall soundtrack for the 2020 documentary from Matt Yoka. The film documents the exploits of Zoey Tur and Marika Gerrard, former partners and founders of the Los Angeles News Service who captured historic events like the 1992 riots and O.J. Simpson’s low-speed chase from a helicopter.

The soundtrack is Segall’s first and features co-writing from Mikal Cronin (“Whirlybird”) and his contributions on saxophone. Segall does a great job with setting mood, conveying emotion, and complementing the action on screen. There's plenty of nice synth, and keyboard work in opener Whirlybird, conveying an early-morning sunrise. While First Date's happy keyboards, and triumphant guitar strums as the Tur's are just getting together.
