For the woodsy, mostly folk and bluegrass-ridden, all-natural Pickathon environment, Ty Segall blended in enough without inciting any riots. That doesn’t mean, however, that he carried on the relaxed atmosphere.
Come back to this page at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 12 and listen as All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen and I play Ty’s entire new album, Sleeper.
Ty Segall played their first set at the “Woods Stage,” which was tucked deep into in a thick forest. The band played with acoustic guitars…
Yes, it’s that time again. The one that comes not once, sometimes twice, and often three times a year: Ty Segall is releasing a new record
It’s been eight months since the 26-year-old California garage rocker last released an album of new material, a mere calendar blip for most artists, but ages for Segall…
Ty Segall has revealed more details on his upcoming album, Sleeper. Due August 20 via Drag City, the garage rock warrior’s next full-length will feature a total…
Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Jeff the Brotherhood, Black Pus, Les Savy Fav’s Tim Harrington, Black Dice’s Eric Copeland, Future Islands and others contributed jams to the release
“The Energizer Bunny of San Francisco garage rock, Ty Segall, has another new album coming on August 20 called SLEEPER…”
“…The album trailer, which features what could be the title track, finds Segall returning to the more lo-fi acoustic side…”
“Joining Loop, Mogwai, the Pop Group, Dirty Beaches, and more at the final weekend are Ty Segall…”
“…Check out a trailer for the record below, which features Ty cheekily resting in various spots and a bit of music, presumably from the release…”
“Ty Segall makes it difficult to imagine him ever resting, let alone sleeping. On August 20, however, the Bay Area garage rocker will release a new album titled Sleeper via Drag City…”
“…Per usual, the proceeds of the digital sales go to the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund. The 7” comes in a special edition “bronze and beer haze” vinyl…”
“San Francisco font of garage rock Ty Segall will be there, perhaps in an altogether new guise (he’ll have released three new albums by the time Pickathon weekend rolls around, no doubt)…”
“…Death By Audio has announced the Sunshine Reverberation effects pedal, which is inspired by Ty Segall…”
“Two years ago he celebrated the vinyl lovers’ holiday by sharing the Ty Rex EP, a six-song set of T. Rex covers done in the lo-fi jangly San Francisco style we’ve come to hold so dear…”
“Ty Segall and Ex-Cults played their second of two shows in NYC at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday night (2/2), joined by Brooklyn wild childs K-Holes. Pictures from the show are in this post, including an on-stage collaboration between the touring partners. The pair also blessed Webster Hall on Friday with special guest Mac DeMarco (2/1, pictures)…”
“If Ty and his band weren’t such fierce performers, they may have been upstaged by the antics of Mac DeMarco and his band, whose onstage shenanigans (wacky voices, push-ups, covering Limp Bizkit) are becoming the stuff of legend.”
“I saw Ty Segall I was lifting him into a crowd of people so he could surf along to the sounds of the Jesus and Mary Chain, he had a grin on his face and a air of “fuck it, let’s have fun” around him. When combined with his prodigious talent and seemingly tireless work rate, it’s easy to see why many are championing the California native as the next big thing…”
“As showcased during their blowout set at the third anniversary celebration for local blog-slash-record label Nashville’s Dead in September, The Ty Segall Band has become a brawny powerhouse, seamlessly integrating material spanning their frontman’s prolific solo catalog…”
“‘I think I’m getting better at translating what I hear in my head to tape,’ Mikal Cronin says. “I’m really excited about that. This record comes from the same place as what I’ve done before, but it’s bigger, more filled-out.” Cronin, a fellow Laguna Beach, California native, longtime collaborator and bandmate to Ty Segall (their time together dates back to high school punk outfit Epsilons) is just days out of completing his sophomore solo full-length, an album he recorded over multiple sessions this past fall with Eric “King Riff” Bauer in San Francisco’s Chinatown and mixed at legendary Fantasy Studios in nearby Berkeley…”
“By selling out this hallowed ballroom, the good-natured USF grad officially crossed that line from popular local artist to major national touring act, and cemented his place among the most successful local bands of the last few years.”
“…The foursome never strayed from the fuzzy, fast-paced, assaultive garage rock for which they’re best known…”
“Reverse Shark Attack is the closest thing to re-living Segall’s journey without asking him ourselves. And it’s a most engaging tale…”
“Shut up and watch the gruesome new video for Twins’ track, ‘Thank God For Sinners,’ then look inward and thank hell for the shimmerin’ gift of Ty Segall.”
“2012 was a touchstone year for Ty Segall, who spent the past five years growing as a musician in the Bay Area, cranking out albums, singles and EPs, but still has time for side projects and constant touring…”
“The restless Ty Segall has formed a new band, Fuzz, with his guitarist Charlie Moothart, as SPIN reports… Amusingly, Segall and Mootheart attempted to keep their identities anonymous with the project.”
“Here, Ty sings but is on drums and like their name implies, this is the kind of thick and heavy rock that descended straight from Hendrix…”
“Lo-fi, garage rock, punk, noise– Ty Segall is not concerned with these distinctions. He just makes rock’n’roll albums that make sense to him…”
“Obviously, we love this guy…”
