"Ty Segall's short,
sharp songs peal out of the garage without raising the
doors, sending 1960s rock riffs crashing through
splintered, smart-ass lo-fi buzz." -Pitchfork
"His second album, Lemons, solidifies his standing
as one to watch.... There are few moments when Ty Segall
isn't irresistibly catchy." -Nylon
"Warped sonics do nothing to diminish the impact
of his vigorously nostalgic riff and stomp. Segall thunders
along with the timeless, impudently rowdy energy of
a cement basement dance-off." -Spin
San Francisco psych wunderkind Ty Segall
continues a tireless musical assault on ears and minds
with his third album, Melted. Segall says it sounds
like "cherry cola, Sno-Cones and taffy." Indeed!
Over the past two years he's released records more often
than most people do laundry, but somehow there is still
a heap of anticipation for this new album on Goner packed
full of truly psychedelic pop songs with great vocals
and exciting arrangements.
On the heels of two critically acclaimed solo albums,
Segall holed up in a basement studio with Mike Donovan
of the SicAlps in late 2009 and early 2010 to come up
with Melted. It's a carefree yet precise balance of
acoustic and electric elements. Distorted echo and thunder
mix together with enough clean guitar lines and addictive
choruses to deliver an album that recalls the '60s without
sounding like anything created during that decade. Time
melts away, vision melts away, minds melt away. Get
Melted!
