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.

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.

dmr otm! Twins is probably the best thing he's done since Melted.

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!

― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
lol sorry, "all time classic" as far as Ty's catalog goes.

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 heartfrom hair - i am not a game, time, easy ryderfrom twins - would you be my love, thank god for the sinners, love fuzz, you're the doctor
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!
― the late great, Monday, 18 March 2013 23:02 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I like the Presley songs on Hair. I'll check out those others, thanks.
― wk, Monday, 18 March 2013 23:27 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty sure that's a re-issue of his collab album with Mikal Cronin (which is pre the three everyone's talking about)
― Walter Galt, Tuesday, 19 March 2013 11:02 (eleven years ago) link
AMAAAAAAZING pink floyd cover on that record

New album out August 20th. This guy is super productive.http://pitchfork.com/news/50747-ty-segall-announces-new-album-sleeper/

So Segall did an all-folk-minimalist-record.
oh well, i'll wait for the Fuzz project.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 22:35 (ten years ago) link
I'm really digging the album. I hear a lot of Neil Young in this, which is obviously always a good thing imo.
― scubasteve, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link
ha yeah, "all-folk-minimalist-record" sounds like a good move to me.
― tylerw, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:43 (ten years ago) link
it's ok, but not really challenging i think.
maybe it deserves more spinning to decide though
― nostormo, Thursday, 15 August 2013 17:45 (ten years ago) link
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
― wk, Thursday, 15 August 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link
The best Segall records are his collaborations. (White Fence, Cronin, Epsilons..)
He should stick to that formula imo
― nostormo, Friday, 16 August 2013 21:00 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Walter Galt, Monday, 30 September 2013 11:51 (ten years ago) link
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.
― IIIrd Datekeeper (contenderizer), Monday, 30 September 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link
Fuz is his best effortAlong with the Fence collaboration imo.
― nostormo, Monday, 30 September 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
i'm not feeling the fuzz so much, miss his squally guitars, but its a good record
― Holy Shirt! (stevie), Monday, 30 September 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link
Just now getting to the Fuzz album and it's so good. Some sick guitar on there.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 11 October 2013 14:38 (ten years ago) link
so the new one is pretty straightforward psychedlic garage. and it's good.
― nostormo, Thursday, 31 July 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
arrangements are much better than usual.he/they learned how to play the instruments.
― nostormo, Thursday, 31 July 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
need to go find this...
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 31 July 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
it's great. buy it. (when its out).
― The beer was cold, but so was the glass, which drives me crazy. (stevie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link
liking a lot of this but the guitar solo passages sort of distract me from everything else. bet it will rip live though!
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 02:44 (nine years ago) link
its his longest album yet, isn't it?
― you couldn't even wear a fedora if your lifes depended on it (stevie), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 05:22 (nine years ago) link
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.
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 13:16 (nine years ago) link
production is awesome.the problem is the songwriting. it's kinda generic Ty style.
