Ty Segall –
Twins (Drag City)
Following a singles compilation, a (rather marvelous) collaboration with White Fence and a Ty Segall Band LP, “Twins” is
Ty Segall’s fourth album of 2012, and his fifth solo album since 2008.
Segall’s specialism is his ability to fuse fuzzy
garage, thrash, hardcore, noise with tripped-out psychedelic expression and to
punch the tunes out with the rock ’n’ roll urgency of The Stooges or MC5. Although
influences are easily seen his highly energetic, occasionally brutishly
powerful, but massively melodic songs, never sound too derivative.
Highlights: “Thank God For Sinners” features some
backwards tracking, a hint of Sergeant Pepper and a solid bass groove, “Love
Fuzz” chugs along with a stilted riff that calls to mind heavyweights like Led
Zeppelin, The Kinks or Cream but dirtier and “There is No Tomorrow” has a
definite end of the ‘60s – the dream is over – feel to it.
