this is comfortably not his best record, but it's still really good

ok sorry this is insanely good

drag city sent out a release today about his OTHER record "Twins" that's coming out. that is a lotta material.
really psyched for his tour with the Oh Sees in the fall. playing in September in NYC at the new Bushwick venue that my friend is working on (The Well).

That does sound like fun. Probably can't count on a Mid-MO show.

I picked up "Slaughterhouse" and "Hair" (the one w/ White Fence) on the same day but haven't gotten around to "Hair" yet. So I've still got that to look forward to.
― dmr, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
dig slaughterhouse, but there isn't much to it, imo. it's a 30 minute mini-album consisting of five real top-shelf keepers that run just over 16 minutes: "death", "bought my eyes", "the tongue", "inside your heart" and "oh mary". those are padded out with three serviceable but hardly memorable garage stompers and a couple of truly crappy covers, all of which take up another 13 minutes or so.
oh yeah, and a lifeless noise dirge that adds nothing but running time and gives the dirtbombs' "race to the bottom" a run for it's no money.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
not to say that it's a bad record, just that it feels a little slight
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
is Wave Goodbye a cover? that's one of the best tracks on the album.
Diddy Wah Diddy and Fuzz War are the only weak spots imo.
― dmr, Thursday, 26 July 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
no, wave goodbye is an original. the other cover is "the bag i'm in".
― contenderizer, Thursday, 26 July 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
But "Wave Goodbye" is such a good tune!
― Walter Galt, Thursday, 26 July 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's great. that's what confused me, lumping that one in as "serviceable but hardly memorable"
― dmr, Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
i guess i just mean that it doesn't floor me. not at all bad, but a bit generic in relation to the five i mentioned earlier.
― contenderizer, Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:10 (eleven years ago) link
and maybe i'm alone in being a bit indifferent to it

doesn't sound like him and a good , bombastic departure.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
i think it's becoming more clear that this guy is scary good.
how old is he again?

interesting song not don't think it's much of a departure from like "i bought my eyes" tho, & the whole last album harmonies were laid on p thick

funny clip

Of course he would fuck around
― Evan, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
i saw him play last week - his set ended abruptly after a shoving match broke out between him and a security guy after Ty tried shoving him into the mosh pit. it was pretty great.

I still receive digital promos of things from a few PR folks and I weed through them as I can (I will be better about it from now on). While weeding lately I checked out Slaugherhouse and man, was I impressed! I know this guy is prolific and has a ton of projects he lends his sweaty guitar to, and I don't know how deep I will get into his cannon, but this album is so great: fuzz turned all the way up to skronk (sometimes), psych rock done by guys who like metal playing in a garage with egg cartons splattered on the walls and every Pixies record in their album collection.
Found this live clip of my favorite cut from the disc:

My favorite Sonic Youth moments are "Daydream Nation" and "Goo," when they approximate being an actual pop band. This album fits into that same wheelhouse for me.

I finally got TWINS. It's dope. Slaughterhouse is maybe a little bit better but they're close. Twins is probably catchier and Slaughterhouse rocks harder.
Overall MELTED is still consistently my favorite, I'm trying not to turn into a Ty Segall completist since he has so much shit out but I think I need to go back and get that one on vinyl.
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
It's the only one I own.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
Melted is the only one I still don't have, need to track that down.
― i kant believe it's not buffon (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 March 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
dmr otm! Twins is probably the best thing he's done since Melted.
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 March 2013 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
so expensive though! Drag City's prices are kind of outrageous nowadays. and no download code. is "Drag City Green Label" supposed to be some premium-quality pressing or something?
(DC not having anything on Spotify does make me buy more of their records overall, I will admit.)
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
best thing he did is srill the collabration with White Fence (hair) imo
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
also, sadly, at this point i don't think he got something new to offer.maybe it's because of the over excessive releases lately
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
disagree ... it's a lot of records but all three of his 2012 releases hit the spot for me (and all were pretty different from each other)
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
sort of different. all quality tho.

How's the singles collection?
― the late great, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
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 kant believe it's not buffon (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 March 2013 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
i wouldn't go as far as "all time classic", but it will be great.
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
i could kill you if you weren't ready for it!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 March 2013 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
ah?
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
lol sorry, "all time classic" as far as Ty's catalog goes.
