Two years ago, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard took the world by storm with the release of five full-length albums. After having a chance to catch their breath, the prolific Australian rockers are back with their latest offering. It’s called Fishing For Fishies and due out on April 26th.

“…DRILL: LA will be held at the Echo and Echoplex in Los Angeles from March 30th – April 2nd…”
If you happen to live near Los Angles, Chicago, San Francisco, or Brooklyn, you have the fortune of thrashing around to GØGGS live in the upcoming weeks.
Late last month, Ty Segall released a nightmarish music video for “Candy Sam”, a highlight taken from his latest solo album Emotional Mugger. That’s not the only project the prolific rocker and multi-tasking master has been promoting, though.
Last we heard from Mac DeMarco, he was celebrating the holidays with a cover of “White Christmas”. This week, the jizz jazzer has resurfaced, and on reddit of all places.
No matter how much rock writers and fans worship him, no matter how many opportunities acclaim and a loyal fan base may bring, Ty Segall has always kept his distance from music industry trends and patterns.
The ever-prolific Thee Oh Sees are set to release a new 7-inch single on February 12th. Coming through mastermind John Dwyer’s own Castle Face label, the single’s A-side, “Fortress”, has just been revealed.
“If II proves anything, it’s that Fuzz remains a force to be reckoned with. Segall and co. have only honed their chops in the years since their debut, and it’s almost terrifying to project what will come in the next stage of their evolution…”
Already this year, the ever-prolific Ty Segall has released an EP of his own, formed Broken Bat with members of OFF! and The Melvins, and announced a new LP from his band FUZZ. Now, he’s gone and started another band, teaming with FUZZ’s Charles Moothart and Chris Shaw of Ex-Cult to create GØGGS.
“The follow-up to the trio’s 2013 self-titled debut LP, the aptly titled II is due out October 23rd via In the Red…”
Segall was a savage behind the kit. Grimy riff after grimy riff oozed off the stage.
Mikal Cronin has teamed with Funny or Die to create a video for “Say”, one of the standout tracks appearing on the singer-songwriter’s latest album, MCIII.
San Francisco garage rocker Mikal Cronin returns with his new record, MCIII, on May 5th via Merge Records. Today, he’s shared a first listen at this mini album within an album in the form of “ii) Gold”.
Ezra Furman has announced his signing to London’s Bella Union, with plans to release his label debut later this summer. As a first listen to the Day of the Dog follow-up, he’s served up lead single “Restless Year”. Much like Furman himself, the track is a ball of energy, bouncing around genre borders with glee.
Rowdy crowd, meet stacks of amplifiers — Ty, Charlie, Mikal, and Emily came to singe your ears off. There have been live recordings of Ty before of course, but never so crisply and fully realized as this scorching platter of fuzz.
Ty Segall continues his reign as garage rock’s most prolific artist. Even with two albums under his belt this year (Manipulator and the recently announced $ingle$ 2 compilation), he’s gearing up to release another: On January 26th, he’ll put out Live in San Francisco under his Ty Segall Band moniker.
Due out November 18th via Drag City, $ingle$ 2 collects 12 “now-out-of-print sides” recorded between 2011 and 2013. That includes originals like “Spiders”, “The Hill,” and “Would You Be My Love”, alongside covers of The Velvet Underground (a total rework of “Femme Fatale”), GG Allin, and The Groundhogs.

Lo-fi psych rocker Tim Presley, a.k.a. White Fence, has signed to Drag City for the release of his sixth studio album. Due out July 22nd, To The Recently Found Innocent was produced by friend and frequent collaborator Ty Segall…
“drop” might imply a fall, it’s not from innocence; it’s the uplifting hope that accompanies a total embrace of chaos. This record is unlike anything you previously thought about Thee Oh Sees; drop your preconceptions at the garage…
Mac DeMarco has unveiled “Brother”, the second single off his forthcoming album Salad Days. Similar to the dreamy “Passing Out Pieces”, DeMarco has veered into another slow jam, combining chirpy guitars, slow and steady drumming…
…San Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees will release a new album, Drop, on April 19th via frontman John Dwyer’s Castle Face Records. Already we’ve heard album opener “Penetrating Eye”, and today the band’s unveiled “The Lens”
