Manipulator plugs back in, turns all his amps to eleven and returns with a vengeance.
Manipulator plugs back in, turns all his amps to eleven and returns with a vengeance.
Now he’s announced the release of the Mr. Face EP, a double 7″ that comes as a pair of the world’s first playable 3D glasses.
Featured Panache artists include Ty Segall, Jacco Gardner, La Luz, Meatbodies, Happyness, Twerps, and Death Valley Girls.
Four new tracks will be pressed upon ‘playable pair of 3D glasses’.
The ever prolific Ty Segall has announced Mr. Face, a new EP that’s due January 13 via Famous Class. It’s being billed as “the world’s first playable pair of 3D glasses.”
Packaged with some funky artwork, the EP’s two 7″ records will also serve as the first-ever playable 3D glasses.
Segall recorded almost everything on his massive double album Manipulator himself. Along the way, he learned some new tricks: Conjuring grandeur with walloping choruses, injecting syncopation into his riff-rock onslaught, turning his howl into a potent glam-rock.
Ty Segall is shifting gears from hyper-productive psychedelic prodigy to all-growed-up glam-rock guitar god.
Standout Track: “The Faker”
Here is a collection dating from 2011-2013 of asides from behind the scenes dating from 2011-2013, Goodbye Bread – Twins – Sleeper era, with some b-sides from singles ‘I Can’t Feel It’, ‘The Hill’ and ‘Would You Be My Love’, and some covers, including the Velvets’ ‘Femme Fatale’.
Castle Face is back with the fourth installment of the label’s Live in San Francisco series, featuring Ty Segall Band’s February 2014 performance at Rickshaw Stop.
$INGLE$ 2 feels, if anything, like a companion to 2011’s Goodbye Bread: fuzzy, sometimes grimy and with riffs that chug along at the perfect speed to be chilled but not lulling. It’s a sweet spot that Segall has hit so well that it makes even a collection of B-sides a decent album.
Ty Segall waves goodbye to Death By Audio.
Such is the incredible output of San Fran garage-punk type Ty Segall that us Clash sorts have often wondered if his catalogue is actually the work of several Tys. We sent photographer Rachel Lipsitz to his sold-out Electric Ballroom show to get us some hard evidence.
Segall and his band attack these garage-psych nuggets with wild glee, joyriding them like stolen cars.
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.
Ty Segall’s most recent output has been released under his standalone moniker— Manipulator and $ingle$ 2 are solo affairs. Soon, however, he’ll release another record from the wrecking crew responsible for Slaughterhouse: the Ty Segall Band (the team of Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Their Live in San Francisco LP is out January 26.
Segall’s next release will come to us from the Ty Segall Band—the band who unapologetically brought us Slaughterhouse in 2012 (Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Live in San Francisco was recorded at San Francisco’s Rickshaw Stop venue on February 25th.
Psychedelic garage rocker Ty Segall has shared a nugget from his upcoming live album, Live in San Francisco. The song comes from Segall’s 2012 album, Slaughterhouse, and features the same backing band: Emily Rose Epstein on drums, Charles Moothart on guitar, and Mikal Cronin on bass.
The Ty Segall Band, which sees our boy working with Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein and Chares Moothart, will release Live in San Francisco early next year.
Ty Segall will release his new compilation called $ingle$ 2 on November 18 via Drag City. It is the sequel to the 2010 cassette release and is full of the loose tracks he recorded between the years 2011 and 2013—the Goodbye Bread, Twins, and Sleeper years. In the compilation, he also covers the Velvets, GG Allin, and the Groundhogs.
The ultra-prolific garage rocker couldn’t stick at just the one release this year, and he’s just announced that a new collection, $INGLE$ 2, will be out on November 17.
For those garage heads who yearn for the years before Ty moved to L.A. with its fame and high-pressure jacuzzi jets, this is the album for you. It’s pure San Francisco Ty, it’s Dolores Park Ty with a neon hula-hoop, Fisherman’s Wharf clam chowder bread-bowl Ty.
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.
Earlier this year, Ty Segall released Manipulator, a massive, 17-track album that has received great acclaim. Segall has announced $INGLE$ 2, a compilation album of loose tracks he recorded between 2011 and 2013.
$ingle$ 2 covers the years 2011 through 2013, bringing together no-longer-in-print singles that, according to a press release, add up to a cohesive album. This was the era when the songwriter released the albums Goodbye Bread, Twins and Sleeper, plus the Ty Segall Band LP Slaughterhouse and the White Fence team-up Hair.
Manipulator delivers generous distortion and the idiosyncratic, quirky sound that has become the defining characteristic of his music. A particularly singular record, Manipulator continues to showcase Segall’s eclectic rock taste, drawing its sound from psychedelia, glam, punk, noise and most of all, garage rock.
