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.
As Melbourne ensemble takes a breather with experimental folky album, it readies its most ambitious release to date.
“Impish indie-rock prince Mac DeMarco treks from the relaxing oceanside edge of Far Rockaway, New York, to a sold-out show in front of a sea of faces at Manhattan’s Webster Hall in our day-in-the-life mini documentary…”
“A boy hero to indie-rock fans who prize delicately demented pop, Mac DeMarco has the casual grace of early Beck, bringing a shambolic scuzz to the creamy sounds of Seventies soft rock…”
Mac DeMarco will release his new mini-album Another One on August 7th, and on Monday, the indie oddball shared “The Way You’d Love Her,” the first track off that eight-track EP.
Indie rock’s favorite goofball Mac DeMarco will follow up his 2014 breakout album, Salad Days, with a new mini-LP titled, Another One, scheduled for release August 7th via Captured Tracks.
Metal guru Ty Segall plays nearly all the instruments, overdubbing himself into a shaggy-ass arena band.
The 24-year-old Canadian singer-guitarist’s second album – a warm, polished set of sun-drenched folk-rock jams – feels like it could have been a lost used-vinyl-bin treasure from the Seventies. DeMarco channels Harry Nilsson, the Beach Boys, Steely Dan and the Beatles, but the offbeat stoner vibes are all him.
In less than a decade Ty Segall has already amassed a catalog so extensive that it would shame most artists who have been around twice as long. Manipulator, Segall’s latest excursion, is his most accomplished yet, a fuzz-driven romp through 17 conceptually-linked tracks that variously recall everything from the Stooges and the Seeds to T. Rex and Tommy James and the Shondells, all filtered through a 21st century lo-fi sensibility.
Garage rocker Ty Segall fits right into a psychedelic, science-fiction landscape for the interactive video for his equally psychedelic song, “Manipulator,” which appears on his latest record of the same name…
Canadian singer-guitarist Mac DeMarco recently invited Rolling Stone to hang out at the Brooklyn apartment where he recorded this year’s excellently laid-back Salad Days.
Prior to this year Cronin was best known for being a Bay Area garage rock crony to the likes of Ty Segall, who may have been the only person to see the sun-breaking-through-the-clouds brilliance of this year’s MCII coming.

“…The album trailer, which features what could be the title track, finds Segall returning to the more lo-fi acoustic side…”
“”I don’t want to answer to anybody at all.” That philosophy has seen Thee Oh Sees’ John Dwyer through nearly two decades in San Francisco’s garage rock scene, a stint that has included 13 bands, countless records (35 Oh Sees releases alone) and a career trajectory that’s brought the 38-year-old to his best-known band’s 12th and most unconfined full-length, Floating Coffin.”
Ty Segall performs “You’re The Doctor” in his second-ever late-night appearance. “The performance included some serious headbanging, and Segall pressing his guitar against his amplifier for a little extra feedback. Letterman seemed amused by the display, saying afterward, ‘Remember kids, don’t neglect your studies.'”
