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 has shared a gory 14-minute video comprising music from his latest album, Emotional Mugger. The video features a composite of the album’s songs, which were remixed by producer F. Bermudez.
Garage rock hero Ty Segall wanders through a dystopian Los Angeles filled with blood-sucking cops and phone-faced drones in the surreal short film for his new album, Emotional Mugger.
Awesomely named Aussie psych-rock band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard channels elements of the vintage Smiley Smile, Hurdy Gurdy Man, and The Village Green Preservation Society LPs by the Beach Boys, Donovan, and The Kinks, respectively, for their latest endeavor.
Baby faced indie cult hero Ty Segall has premiered a new video to coincide with the release of his latest album Emotional Mugger recently released on Drag City.
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.
A garage-rock prodigy and infinitely entertaining musician, Ty Segall is one of the L.A. music scene’s most playful characters that many have come to admire — and remained curious about — for the better part of the last decade.
Following his acclaimed, wide-ranging 2014 tour de force “Manipulator,” the ever-prolific Orange County rock sprite Ty Segall scratched an itch last year with an album collecting his versions of some T. Rex songs titled — what else could it possibly be? — “Ty Rex.”
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.’
Prolific Orange County garage-rocker Ty Segall continues to make retro-minded records that bring to mind everyone from Blue Cheer to Black Sabbath.
For this piece, I was going to just post a YouTube video of Satan riding a unicorn into outer space, but I couldn’t find one. To me, that’s what this record sounds like.
Onstage at the Teragram Ballroom for the first of two sold-out shows, Ty Segall’s new band The Muggers builds up to a furious crescendo for the instrumental bridge to “Feel” from his 2014 album, Manipulator. As they play, Segall bolts off the stage.
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.
Coming off what is widely accepted to be his best album to date in Manipulator, Ty Segall has made all the right moves.
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.
“PICK UP YOUR GUITAR!!!” Some fans in the balcony of the Vogue Theatre grew restless and impatient last Friday as Ty Segall went hands-free in his biggest Vancouver showing yet. But no one in the throbbing, fleshy pit below seemed bothered.
Today marks the beginning of a new era in A.V. Club videos: the premiere of our latest ground-breaking, fun-making series, Talent Show. For Talent Show, various talented people (“the talent,” if you will) are challenged to do all manner of tasks, from answering trivia questions to replicating Supermarket Sweep.
The snarl of Ty Segall’s guitar isn’t the true hallmark of his sound. It’s been done before. What defines Segall’s work is the power and management of each instrument, especially in his newest release “Emotional Mugger.”
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”).
Beneath Saturday’s glowing full moon, Ty Segall took Portland on a fucked-up tour of the human subconscious in the same manner that fictitious chocolatier Willy Wonka led his Chocolate River boat ride.
Panache is excited to announce that we have opened an LA Office in Eagle Rock with our lovely friends Spinning Top Music. We are excited about the west coast expansion and look forward to hosting more events in Los Angeles in 2016.
Well. It’s time to write about this show. I think I will begin with the time-tested Adjective Toss while I gather my sentence-forming abilities.
Unsettling. Massive. Fun! Weird. Heavy. Insane. Jaw-dropping. Repellent! Endearing.
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.
