Exclaim!

$INGLE$ 2 feels, if anything, like a companion to 2011’s Goodbye Bread: fuzzy, sometimes grimy and with riffs that chug along at the perfect speed to be chilled but not lulling. It’s a sweet spot that Segall has hit so well that it makes even a collection of B-sides a decent album.

Ty Segall’s most recent output has been released under his standalone moniker— Manipulator and $ingle$ 2 are solo affairs.

Their Live in San Francisco LP is out January 26.

Ty Segall will release his new compilation called $ingle$ 2 on November 18 via Drag City. It is the sequel to the 2010 cassette release and is full of the loose tracks he recorded between the years 2011 and 2013—the Goodbye Bread, Twins, and Sleeper years.

Combining VU riffs, acid-washed AM ’70s rock and a touch of The dB’s pop, his plaintive lyrics are at odds with his ‘Dude, Where’s My Career?’ persona. Could DeMarco be Paul Westerberg and Bob Stinson at the same time?

The Aquarian

Manipulator delivers generous distortion and the idiosyncratic, quirky sound that has become the defining characteristic of his music. A particularly singular record, Manipulator continues to showcase Segall’s eclectic rock taste, drawing its sound from psychedelia, glam, punk, noise and most of all, garage rock.
