I’m not sure there is a currently working musician who produces as consistently excellent music — live or on record — at does Ty Segall.
Arcade Fire’s Reflektor, Drake’s Nothing Was the Same, Mac DeMarco’s Salad Days, Chromeo’s White Women, Owen Pallett’s In Conflict, Tim Hecker’s Virgins, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan’s UZU, Timber Timbre’s Hot Dreams, Tanya Tagaq’s Animism, Shad’s Flying Colours, Jessy Lanza’s Pull My Hair Back, and Basia Bulat’s Tall Tall Shadow are were all up for the […]
In an unexpected turn of events, throat singer Tanya Tagaq has beat out formidable nominees like Arcade Fire, Drake (Nothing Was The Same), Mac DeMarco (Salad Days), and Owen Pallett (In Conflict) to win the award for Canada’s best album.
Manipulator possesses a power-pop sensibility, thanks to its candy-bright hooks and Segall’s sometimes audaciously refined enunciation. The end result is a take on rock that could exist only in the 21st century, in part because its inspirations aren’t limited to one particular offshoot or era.
Stage crashers were welcome to stay and ham it up for as long as they wanted, or until the guitar stacks blasted them off into the swarming crowd. The everyman who also happens to be a guitar god, that’s our Ty.
Last night (9/18), Ty Segall played his second of two Webster Hall shows which was just as bonkers as the first night, with a constant stream of (gentle) stage divers and crowdsurfers, including Ty himself where atop the audience he sang his last song of the night.
Has anyone ever been to a bad Ty Segall show? At this point in the 20-something’s career, it seems like everyone expects the best of him without being disappointed.
You don’t need 3D glasses or weed to enjoy the Krautrock locomotion and searing psychedelic leads chugging along with hypnotizing shapes and colors, but it probably wouldn’t hurt.
Playing tracks of this year’s Manipulator as well as offerings from all over his packed discography, Segall delivered a rage-inducing performance that had fans of all ages, sex, and types jumping on stage and diving into the crowd.
