Ty Segall has unveiled new track "Story of the Century" from his soundtrack for Matt Yoka's Whirlybird documentary.

Whirlybird is a 2020 documentary directed by Matt Yoka that tells the story of Zoey Tur and Marika Gerrard, former partners and founders of the Los Angeles News Service, who revolutionised breaking news by reporting from a helicopter.
