How King Gizzard Conquered the World — While Staying DIY
Rolling Stone

On this tour, Mackenzie is giving up a bit of the creative control in order to livestream each show on YouTube — something he’d considered for years but that took time to fall into place. Documentary filmmakers Jackson Devereux and Allen Dobbins record each performance in real time, with the sound mix (helmed by longtime King Gizzard audio engineer Sam Joseph) coming straight from the live mix of the show. It’s not a traditional way to livestream — most acts would make sure to have a separate sound mix going out to the stream — but it’s one that fits in with their DIY approach. “I think a lot of people would look at this operation and be like, ‘You guys are absolutely insane,’” Mackenzie says. “That is not what you’re supposed to do. So many things could go wrong at any moment, but I think making it free allows you to have a few teething problems along the way, and figure it out in good faith.”

500 Best Songs of All Time
Rolling Stone

“When she talks, I hear the revolution/In her hips, there’s revolution,” Kathleen Hanna announced on “Rebel Girl,” the Nineties riot-grrrl battle cry that has come to be revered as perhaps the greatest feminist punk anthem of all time. The song is so potent the band recorded and released it three different times, each with a more joyful focus. The most famous version remains the B side of the band’s astounding “New Radio” single, with producer and guitar ringer Joan Jett singing background vocals and adding guitar.

Rolling Stone

The singer will embark on a massive North American tour next year

After releasing Hello, Hi last year, and dropping his first feature film score (composed for Matt Yoka’s documentary, Whirlybird), Ty Segall is set to debut his next album, Three Bells, on Jan. 26, 2024. Alongside the announcement, the singer also shared the music video for new single “My Room.”

The upcoming album is being billed as “a deeper, wilder journey to the center of the self, with Ty using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication,” and an “an obsessive quest for expression.” According to a press release, the LP will include 15 songs brimming with “perspectives, shape-shifting incessantly.” Ty and his wife Denée Segall have collaborated on five of the tracks, including the previously released single, “Eggman.” Emmett Kelly takes on bass while the remaining members of the Freedom Band were called in for the project, and Cooper Crain co-produced, per the release.

Fuzz Drop New Scorcher ‘Spit’ Alongside Surreal Stop-Motion Video
Rolling Stone

…“Spit” is another blast of blown-out, big riff rock from a group that’s always reliable in that realm, with drummer and singer Ty Segall presiding over the crunch with a vocal performance that edges on the serene. While the song packs an immediate punch, in a statement, guitarist Charles Moothart noted it was designed to have “a subtle tweak that over time gets more obvious. The verse riff almost feels like you’re falling asleep at the wheel then the chorus opens up with a melodic but sharp riff that adds to the punch-drunk feeling of the verse.”

Mac DeMarco Wants to Ride Off Into the Sunset
Rolling Stone

Mac DeMarco is hanging out at home in Los Angeles, playing video games on the couch, when he picks up the phone. “I don’t really know what’s going on, but let’s rock and roll!” he says.
This might be the most Mac DeMarco way possible to begin a conversation. His unflappably chill folk-rock tunes, laced with a surreal sense of humor, have made the Canadian singer-songwriter an unlikely star. Since breaking through with 2014’s Salad Days, he’s gone from a cult hero to a bankable live draw with hundreds of millions of Spotify streams — all despite making virtually no effort to keep up with contemporary music. (He’d rather listen to “Japanese music from the ’60s and ’70s, and The Beatles.”)

Ty Segall Plans New York, Los Angeles Residencies
Rolling Stone

Ty Segall makes a lot of noise. Since 2008, the California garage-rocker has released nearly a dozen solo albums, plus quite a few collaborations, EPs, one-off singles and more. This summer and fall, Segall will explore his back catalog with a series of multi-night residencies in Los Angeles and New York at which he’ll perform several of his best-loved albums in full.

Hear Mac DeMarco Preview New Album With Lonesome New Song ‘Nobody’
Rolling Stone

Mac DeMarco unveiled “Nobody,” a desolate track set to appear on his next album, Here Comes the Cowboy. It’s out May 10th via his own Mac’s Record Label. “Nobody” is stripped down and ambling: Built around prickly guitars and a steady clop of drums and bass. DeMarco sings, “There’s no turning back/To nobody/There’s no second chance/No third degree.”

Rolling Stone reviews Emotional Mugger
Rolling Stone

You could accuse Ty Segall of having an old-school work ethic – he even circulated early copies of this album on VHS tape. But there’s nothing dusty about him. The San Francisco garage-punk wunderkind flaunts all his frantic energy and wild-eyed humor on Emotional Mugger.
