Pitchfork Highlights Quintron’s Spellcaster II LP in Shake Appeal!
Pitchfork

His latest LP shows an artist doing a lot more than just making novelty music. “Something Is Wrong With Jim Bob” is 90 seconds of arid, instrumental guitar. “Fatal Harmonic” is a track by the Weather Warlock, his project featuring a device that’s controlled by the elements (an undeniable highlight at Gonerfest). The best part of the album by a mile is “Do the Raid”, which is probably the best Quintron and Miss Pussycat song of the past decade. It’s a sneering track where they stare down a young student and say, “Your parents are dumb, kid, do the fuckin’ math.”
Truly, an anthem for elementary school teachers who no longer give a fuck.

Rolling Stone features Ty Segall on ‘Young Guns’
Rolling Stone

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.

Esquire features Ty Segall’s ‘The Singer’ music video
Esquire

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.
