He’s been praised as the most prolific and hardest working man in music, and when it comes to Ty Segall, it’s emphatically warranted. ‘The Singer’ is a standout on the record that now has a rad video to accompany it.
Australian garage psych outfit King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have a new track coming to us from their upcoming fifth album, I’m in Your Mind Fuzz “Hot Water” is a bass thumping track accented by swirling flute riffs and steady drum work. One thing’s for sure: this definitely isn’t your dad’s Jethro Tull.
In less than a decade Ty Segall has already amassed a catalog so extensive that it would shame most artists who have been around twice as long. Manipulator, Segall’s latest excursion, is his most accomplished yet, a fuzz-driven romp through 17 conceptually-linked tracks that variously recall everything from the Stooges and the Seeds to T. Rex and Tommy James and the Shondells, all filtered through a 21st century lo-fi sensibility.
For the second year in a row, III Points has shown it definitely has a way of obliterating your sleep schedule. But it’s all worth the lack of rest, if a life-affirming fix of four-to-the-floor beats is what you’ve been needing.
Mac DeMarco discussed his recording process, how personal he gets in his writing, and internet fame in a new interview for Pitchfork.tv and Canal 180’s “Entrevista” series.
With KG & the LW set to visit Subterranean on Saturday, Oct. 18, here’s a list of reasons you might want to consider these Aussies your new favorite band.
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard not only hands down win the award for band name of the week, but their paisley-coloured psych is as pleasingly trippy as you’d expect from a bunch of reptilian magic-makers.
While the song explores the “mythic experience of rock” the video imagines Segall summoning the spirit of the Ty Segall Band with his guitar, right before Derek Acorah and Yvette Fielding arrive and shut the whole thing down.
Ty Segall’s Maniupulator is one of the best and most critically-acclaimed rock records of the year. It’s seventeen tracks of psychedelic, sludgy, garage rock that is steeped in ’60s influences while still sounding fresh and new. “The Singer” is one of the record’s mellowest tunes, but stay tuned for the shred-your-face guitar solo near the end.
Day of the Dog is where Furman crosses a subtle but significant line from a punk version of indie folk to a punk version of rockabilly.
Mac DeMarco’s army of fans are more used to seeing him in darkened venues at the climax of a night of partying, but at ACL he also proved that he’s a man for all seasons: including the blistering heat of a 1pm show under the Texas sun.
The goofy Canadian guitar guy in the cap and unbuttoned flannel shirt never comes off as too cool for his crowd, which has the funny effect of making him all the more cool.
Watching sunsets and sunrises are some of life’s loveliest pleasures, and hey — it turns out listening to them is pretty incredible too. Quintron, an experimental musician based in New Orleans, built a synthesiser and sensors that convert weather to sound, with special audio effects at dusk and dawn.
While Manipulator itself is fast-paced, Segall delivered every song with a raw energy that made each track explode.
Ninth Ward puppeteers, inventors and organ-rockers Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat will release Spellcaster II: Death in Space on October 28th.
As the venue’s soundman hurried to cover his gear with tarps and the audience fretted over a potential cancellation, Segall strode onstage and began raging in the rain.
We now have details on the new Quintron & Miss Pussycat album. It’s titled Spellcaster II: Death In Space and will be out October 28 On Pizza Burglar Records. The new record is a mix of their signature organ-driven party jams and droney, atmospheric instrumentals. We’ve got the premiere of “Do the Raid,” which definitely falls into the former category, which you can stream in this post.

Fans can expect nothing but unique beats and sugary-sweet flutes and harmonicas doused with attitude and intricate lyricism from I’m In Your Mind Fuzz.
Name a band that starts with Led or ends in Sabbath or any other band that was accused of turning the fair youth of the ‘70s into devil-witches. These are the anachronistic peers of Ty Segall — the raw, nasty, fuzzed out musician who is returning rock to its roots.
Last week, Mayor Rahm Emanuel declared September 23 to be “David Bowie Day” in Chicago. Ty Segall happened to be playing a show in Chicago that day, so he performed a medley of Bowie songs during his encore.
Perhaps no artist has become as revered in garage rock circles in such short order as Ty Segall.
He obliterated any subtleties during his performance at The Danforth Music Hall on September 21st as Segall and his band delivered a blunt force trauma inducing set that exposed the raw proto-punk DNA beneath the glammy sheen of Manipulator.
Julian Casablancas has enlisted some pretty exciting acts to open his upcoming US tour. Between October and November, The Strokes’ frontman will share the stage with Mr Twin Sister, Mac DeMarco, and Shabazz Palaces.
Somewhat bewildered and almost entirely unhinged, Ezra Furman’s idiosyncratic blend of punk-fried and pop embellished noise is nothing short of revelatory.
To say that Melburnian’s King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have gathered a bit of momentum in their short time together would be one hell of an understatement.
After nailing a string of songs from “Manipulator,” Segall actually apologized to Boston for not being here for so long. Looking around the room as he and the other musicians blistered the crowd with older songs like “Thank God for the Sinners,” I think it’s safe to say we forgave him.

I’m not sure there is a currently working musician who produces as consistently excellent music — live or on record — at does Ty Segall.
