Ty Segall - C or D?

the singles collection is great, but if you've only heard stuff from Goodbye Bread on, be prepared for a significantly lower-fi experience. i think you could construct a fantastic 45-minute record our of his three major 2012 releases and it would be an all-time classic.

i wouldn't go as far as "all time classic", but it will be great.

i could kill you if you weren't ready for it!

ah?

lol sorry, "all time classic" as far as Ty's catalog goes.

maybe it's because of the over excessive releases lately

"lately"

i think you could construct a fantastic 45-minute record our of his three major 2012 releases and it would be an all-time classic.

which tracks would you pick? I like him in theory but can never make it very far through one of his records. Finger is the only song of his that ever really stuck in my head. I think White Fence, Oh Sees, Fresh & Onlys are all a lot better but maybe I just haven't found a way into his catalog.

just off the top of my head:

from slaughterhouse - the tongue, wave goodbye, tell me what's inside your heart
from hair - i am not a game, time, easy ryder
from twins - would you be my love, thank god for the sinners, love fuzz, you're the doctor

the more I think about it Twins is probably the best front to back out of these. it's easier to pick the winners and losers off Slaughterhouse.

and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!

Yeah, I like the Presley songs on Hair. I'll check out those others, thanks.

and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!

Pretty sure that's a re-issue of his collab album with Mikal Cronin (which is pre the three everyone's talking about)

AMAAAAAAZING pink floyd cover on that record

galt you are correct

and predictably it rules

New album out August 20th. This guy is super productive.

chea

So Segall did an all-folk-minimalist-record.

oh well, i'll wait for the Fuzz project.

I'm really digging the album. I hear a lot of Neil Young in this, which is obviously always a good thing imo.

ha yeah, "all-folk-minimalist-record" sounds like a good move to me.

it's ok, but not really challenging i think.

maybe it deserves more spinning to decide though

yeah, it was pretty nice but gave me a bit of a "I've listened to barrett/bolan and you sir are no barrett/bolan" feeling

The best Segall records are his collaborations. (White Fence, Cronin, Epsilons..)

He should stick to that formula imo

Pretty stoked on this Fuzz stuff. Really dig all the singles - none of which are on the LP!

And the King Crimson cover is a lot of fun.

I saw FUZZ live on Friday night at the Tufnell Park Dome. They totally killed it. Segall is an animal of a drummer and the riffs are just so huge... I love the singles, but live, stripped of the slightly distant reverb, the tunes are just monstrous. I kind of think they could be huge.

gah, want the fancy-ass version of the FUZZ lp so dang bad. somebody please send one to me for no reason at all.

also hope to make one of the mass shows in a couple weeks.

Fuz is his best effort
Along with the Fence collaboration imo.

i'm not feeling the fuzz so much, miss his squally guitars, but its a good record

Just now getting to the Fuzz album and it's so good. Some sick guitar on there.

so the new one is pretty straightforward psychedlic garage. and it's good.

arrangements are much better than usual.
he/they learned how to play the instruments.

need to go find this...

it's great. buy it. (when its out).

liking a lot of this but the guitar solo passages sort of distract me from everything else. bet it will rip live though!

its his longest album yet, isn't it?

yeah, it's 17 songs, and some push four minutes. it's good but i can't decide if it's too long. i think it might be.

production is awesome.
the problem is the songwriting. it's kinda generic Ty style.

this album james hard

jams

i love it. its harder to digest in one go than, say, melted. but its excellent.

yeah i'm holding judgment until i get to listen all the way through a few more times. i have faith in him! so excited to see him soon. bummed i missed the Fuzz tour:

It sounds really retro. Like way more retro than his other stuff. I prefer the rocked-out version of "Feel" from Conan to the album version.

yes, more straightforwardly classic rockin to these ears ... still fresh tho

i still think Hair and Fuzz are the best things he done.

Manipulator is his third best i guess imo.

hair is really great

new album is really holding up great for me

who's the drummer on this? so good, and those nice, flat 70s drum sounds too

rhythm section makes this album

good hooks on every song as well, haven't heard a retro rock record this good for a long time

guessing it's him?

I liked one song I heard- I'll check out the rest. Thanks!

there are a few different drummers i believe, the lady who toured with him on a few, him on some, and i think chris wodehouse who is from that whole san fran psych/garage thing.

still think the album is a little too long and some of the guitar solos are sort of distracting/crappy but overall i really dug it

their touring drummer is Emily Epstein -- she's been playing drums for Ty for a few years -- she moved down to LA last year
