Dear Ty Segall, I am musically in love with you. Where the hell have you been all my life?
His song Skin reminds me of the same feeling I got when I first heard The Horrors in 2005/2006. That fucking brutal, hard-hitting, smack in the face kind of feeling. Garage rock at its finest.
Ty Segall posses that sound that is in The Stooges; pure Punk rock with a whole lot of heart. Songs like Goin’ Down do not make you think you’re in 2011 at all. His sound makes you think you’re right in the forefront of the Punk rock movement. This is truly fascinating stuff.
Ty isn’t just a solo artist. He’s in a number of bands such as The Perverts, Sic Alps and Party Fowl- all of which deserve your attention. You’ve got nothing better to do, so go ahead- LISTEN!
