Ty Segall generally doesn’t keep fans waiting too long for his next album, and he’s kicked off the new year with his latest, “Emotional Mugger.” The record has been receiving solid reviews, and for the first video from the album, the musician has turned to a frequent collaborator to deliver what might be his most ambitious effort yet.

Ty Segall releases a lot of music in various incarnations throughout the year and sometimes it is hard to discern where these albums fall within the calendar schedule of music, but Emotional Mugger, his latest creation, has apparently been recently released.

Emotional Mugger paints a picture of menacing clowns thrashing about in semi-trucks, a possible musical score to the demolition-derby video game Twisted Metal. Ty Segall inhabits a new persona on each record, and his latest alter ego is demented.

Ty Segall’s prolific musical output most recently took form in II, the sophomore album from his band Fuzz. Emotional Mugger is the follow-up to 2014’s Manipulator and Segall’s tenth solo album, which he formally announced by sending a VHS to media outlets and releasing a cryptic short video explaining ‘emotional mugging.’

In a goofball YouTube promo, Dr. Ty Segall, PhD defines “emotional mugging” as a “psychoanalytic subject-to-subject exchange formed as a response to our hyper-digital sexual landscape.” So sizing one another up, frontin’, a cold barrier of distraction, the practice of impenetrable differentiation… This silly promo vid is of special import because I think Ty’s trying to get all psychological on us in bigger way.

Anyone who was wondering if Ty Segall was ever going to deliver another set of raw, scuzzy garage rock after the relatively polished approach of 2013’s Sleeper and 2014’s Manipulator will be happy (or alarmed) to know Segall is very much in touch with his noisy side on 2016’s Emotional Mugger.

Ty Segall’s new album Emotional Mugger sounds like a Ty Segall album: loud guitars, a fuzzy, melodic low end and Segall’s faux British accent chiming in. The album is made up of songs indistinguishable from one another, each showcasing an guitar solo as interesting as a running tap.

Throughout his eight-year career, alt rocker Ty Segall has done everything on his own terms. Each of his releases takes on a new sound, experimenting with different instrumentation and composition. His latest project Emotional Mugger, released Friday, does exactly that, taking risks on almost every song.

Ty Segall is unstoppable. Releasing new music at an alarming rate, the young shredder has no shortage of things to say and noise to make. In fact, on the heels of his new record Emotional Mugger comes a new release from California quartet Audacity, produced by Segall.

Le toujours aussi prolifique Ty Segall commence l’année 2016 en force avec la sortie de son 8e album. Oui, oui, son 8e album solo. Alors que certains artistes ne réussissent même pas à faire ça au courant d’une carrière, le Californien n’a même pas encore frappé 30 ans.

When I saw Ty Segall perform in Chicago on September 23, 2014 promoting his album Manipulator, he and his most consistent backing team (Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein and Charles Moothart) briefly served the audience some off-the-cuff covers of classic David Bowie songs (“Ziggy Stardust,” “Suffragette City,” and “Queen Bitch”).

It should be more exhausting to keep up with Ty Segall. The clip at which the garage-glam savant releases records is on par with the ’70s supernatural output of our dear departed friend David Bowie.

Like Funkadelic, Ty Segall’s Emotional Mugger is music as cocaine. Mugger is Segall’s ninth solo album in eight years, during which time he’s dabbled in apocalyptic blackness, breezy sweetness, and garage rock at its Kinks-ian apex, riding each style to the end of the track, each one another coaster at the amusement park.
