Listen to it in chunks, or loop it on endless repeat, either way, just do it! On Manipulator, Segall has taken the best parts of every one of his albums, and added even more (who knew the man could be so groovy?) and created a wildly successful record that is impressive in both vision and scope, and despite its double album length, is the type of album you can’t quit listening to. With Manipulator, Segall has positioned himself in rarified air in the rock world, where there are only a handful of artists who inspire such a fervent following, and simultaneously continue to churn out amazing music at such an impressive pace. While Segall has been uncharacteristically quiet this year, he has been working hard, playing on and recording the excellent White Fence record, For The Recently Found Innocent, and spending the bulk of the year working on his new double album, Manipulator. He was still fantastic last year, releasing records with his side project Fuzz, and the underrated Sleeper lp, which while on the mellow side was a perfect counterbalance to the full on sonic assault of Fuzz. If you go, and you should, stand back and enjoy a perfect sonic wave.Fire Note Says: Segall has crafted his first bona fide masterpiece with this shape shifting epic!Īlbum Review: Ty Segall has been riding an incredible wave of creativity that seemed to hit a peak in 2012 with the release of the triple entente of rock, Slaughterhouse, Hair, and Twins. It’s amazing he’s not shredding his vocal chords on a nightly basis, nor his fingers on his guitar strings.Īt this point, Segall’s career path has barely been laid out in front of him. Segall is now laser-focused, on delivering better tracks as memorably as he can. It’s amazing what two straight years of touring will do for a psychedelic/garage rock savant. This set, during which Segall aired most of Slaughterhouse and Twins, was a flat out epic. It was loose and loud, and the set was mostly based on Goodbye Bread, a good record that doesn’t come close to the two mentioned above. That last time I saw Segall was at Wrongbar during NXNE 2011. Holy god it was cold outside on Wednesday night around 12 a.m. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
