Ty Segall : Possession

Nobody can accuse Ty Segall of being a slacker. The guy has not taken a break since his 2008 self-titled debut. Just solo albums alone he’s nearly released a record a year, sometimes two in a year. That’s not counting side projects(Fuzz, Wasted Shirt), the occasional film score(Whirlybird), and guest appearances on friends albums. And […]

Ty Segall : Three Bells

Ty Segall has covered a lot of musical ground over the last 15 years since he emerged from the California garage rock scene. The guy doesn’t seem to ever take a break; whether it’s solo albums, collaborations, or even soundtracks Segall doesn’t rest. You’d think he’d start repeating himself at some point but that’s not […]

Watch Ty Segall Eat A Bunch Of Eggs in “Eggman” Video

It took me a long time to warm up to Ty Segall. Years. Maybe a decade. Manipulator was when I came on board. That album, plus his interview with Marc Maron where he talked about skateboarding on acid. I thought, “You know, I think I might like this kid now.” Since then I’ve come to […]

The C.I.A. : Surgery Channel

So Surgery Channel isn’t an album of the Central Intelligence Agency’s greatest hits, but rather this is yet another Ty Segall project. This one in-particular is a project that includes Segall, his wife Denée Segall, and Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly. The sound is primitive electronic with touches of post-punk and even riot grrrl in Denée’s […]

Ty Segall : Hello, Hi

Ty Segall might be the busiest man in indie rock. He’s certainly one of the most prolific, dropping something new seemingly every 6 months. Whether it’s solo albums or with one of his many side projects, Segall seems to have a mind that runs 24/7. Albums spanning garage rock, psych folk, wonky synth workouts, and […]

Ty Segall : Harmonizer

Ty Segall is a hard artist to keep up with. Just as you’re memorizing track orders on the newest album he’s already released a new one, either under his own name or with any one of his many side projects/collaborations. I’m not complaining(okay, maybe I am), but it’s as if he can’t stop and soak […]

Fuzz : III

Whether you’re ready or not, Ty Segall, Charlie Moothart, and Chad Ubovich are back with Fuzz’ third album, III. Starting out with their self-titled debut in 2013, the trio of Cali psych rock vets put out an album with Sabbath-like riffs and Blue Cheer garage rock abandon, setting the bar extremely high for riff-heavy rock […]

Wasted Shirt : Fungus II

Wasted Shirt is a collaborative project between Ty Segall and Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale. If you’re at all familiar with where these two individual artists are coming from stylistically then you should be very excited. And a little frightened. If you’re not familiar, then imagine songs culled together with exploding amplifiers, drums being abused beyond […]

Segall + Chippendale = Wasted Shirt

It took me many years to get into Ty Segall. I never really heard what everyone else did about the guy. I thought he was pretty prolific, and I gave him credit for being a good songwriter, but for the most part the fuzzed-up garage rock/noise pop trip he was on didn’t do it for […]

Ty Segall : Freedom’s Goblin

Ty Segall is not the type of guy to sit on his laurels. He doesn’t put out an album and then sit, lay back and just coast on good reviews for awhile. It seems that usually by the time he puts a record out he’s already onto the next record, project, music obsession, etc. For […]
