Aquarium Drunkard reviews Emotional Muggger

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 […]

AllMusic reviews Emotional Mugger

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.

The Concordian reviews 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.

The Daily Texan reviews 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.

Glide Magazine reviews Emotional Mugger

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 Canal Auditif reviews Emotional Mugger

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.

Post-Trash reviews Emotional Mugger

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”).

Tiny Mix Tapes reviews Emotional Mugger

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.

Renowned For Sound reviews Emotional Mugger

American singer/songwriter Ty Segall has always been able to capture listeners with his unique garage rock/punk/psychedelic influenced music. Although it seems that his sound has mellowed as each album has dropped, he still puts enough energy into each record to thrive.

Sobre Sound features Emotional Mugger for New Music Friday

The hot take: this record sounds like Tame Impala. You can get into the intricate details as to why Emotional Mugger sounds unique or different, but the intentionally garagey distortion on the bass and the John Lennon vocal aesthetics are major components in the overall sound of Emotional Mugger.

The Verge reviews Emotional Mugger

It’s hard to talk about Ty Segall without mentioning the sheer amount of music he’s put out, and what that means for the people who listen to it. In the time between the release of his last LP Manipulator and this week’s Emotional Mugger, Segall has released two EPs, a live album, and an LP […]

Rolling Stone reviews Emotional Mugger

You could accuse Ty Segall of having an old-school work ethic – he even circulated early copies of this album on VHS tape. But there’s nothing dusty about him. The San Francisco garage-punk wunderkind flaunts all his frantic energy and wild-eyed humor on Emotional Mugger.

Exclaim! reviews Emotional Mugger

Call 1-800-281-2968, and you’ll be subjected to an off-putting message from Ty Segall, grody sound effects and all (“I am itching to hear how I can fill the holes in your ego…do you need a daddy?”).
