There’s really nothing new to say about a live show from San Francisco psychedelic garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. Yes, they are still America’s most exciting live rock band.
There’s really nothing new to say about a live show from San Francisco psychedelic garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. Yes, they are still America’s most exciting live rock band.
Those looking for evidence that the annual FYF Fest had hit an afternoon peak found it during songwriter Ty Segall’s set.
Mac DeMarco is the 22-year-old Montreal-based musician with a disparate public image, a knack for putting on amazingly unhinged live shows and a thing for row boats.
On a recent afternoon, Mr. Segall spoke by phone with Mike Rubin from his new home in Los Angeles, where he moved from San Francisco after recording “Sleeper.”
A Mac DeMarco Australian Tour 2013 has been announced and with the guitarist and his band headed to Australia for Meredith Music Festival this December…
…10 tracks of similarly hued songs, all of a piece. It’s his most focused album, with every song’s tone easily flowing into the next, and it’s also one of his best.
On Wednesday August 28, 2013, SummerStage will present MAC DEMARCO’s built by meanred in a FREE SHOW at East River Park, Manhattan. Showtime: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
.Segall is in a several bands and has released 14 records since 2005. Last year alone, he released two full-length records and two excellent EPs.
Sleeper, Ty Segall’s latest and darkest full-length to date, simmers in alien territory. There’s no motor oil, no sex wax.
…Segall spoke to us from his new home and studio in Los Angeles—closer to his hometown of Laguna Beach, his family and the surfing beaches he grew up on.
He’s taken a step back from the bold, eardrum-melting sounds and given us a taste of his softer side with Sleeper.
It’s almost comical that Ty Segall would call his latest album Sleeper. In just a few short years, the Bay Area garage rocker has done anything but rest…
San Francisco-based garage prince Mikal Cronin took us on a dissonant narrative journey this May in his latest release MCII, an inventively poetic and piano driven…
If critics were impressed by ‘Mikal Cronin’, they were almost universally blown away by the follow up ‘MCII’ is almost lightyears away from its predecessor in every way an album can be.
On this episode of World Cafe, Cronin sits down to chat with host David Dye and play a few songs with his band live in the studio.
The lineup for San Jose’s C2SV Festival continues to grow with the addition of Thee Oh Sees, Bosnian Rainbows, G.F.P. (with Greg Hetson and Tony Alva)…
Segall wrote the 10 mostly acoustic tracks for Sleeper after losing his father to cancer last year and relocating to Los Angeles to be closer to his younger sister.
In this episode of Weird Vibes, Mac DeMarco & friends take us on an incredible Pitchforkian adventure featuring interviews with…
But with “Sleeper,” Ty’s done something completely different and which still succeeds in a big way.
…release of garage rock maniac Ty Segall’s most recent album, Twins. That’s nearly an eternity in Ty-time but, as discussed, his new one, Sleeper, will be out on…
I recently spoke with Presley as he was driving into the United States, narrowly escaping a rigorous inspection at the Canadian/U.S. border.
A lot of musicians might be ready for a break, but Segall is back again this month with yet another full-length album under his own name.
The performances White Fence put on both Friday and Saturday were mind-blowing, and are sure to set many imaginations ablaze.
For the woodsy, mostly folk and bluegrass-ridden, all-natural Pickathon environment, Ty Segall blended in enough without inciting any riots. That doesn’t mean, however, that he carried on the relaxed atmosphere.
Come back to this page at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 12 and listen as All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen and I play Ty’s entire new album, Sleeper.
It’s official: San Francisco’s beloved Thee Oh Sees are confirmed to open for Iggy and the Stooges at this year’s C2SV festival in San Jose.
..perhaps what I like most about Tim Presley’s music is that it is both contradictory and complimentary within itself: retro-ly familiar yet utterly unique and modern…
Ty Segall played their first set at the “Woods Stage,” which was tucked deep into in a thick forest. The band played with acoustic guitars…
White Fence played their first set in the main stage area, where their raucous sound had plenty of room to breathe.
My theory is that Segall subconsciously thinks he’s going to die young or to burn out on music-making, so he’s trying to get as much out of his system now while…
