| Ty Segall, From the Slaughterhouse to the Sleeper Hold | August 23, 2013 |
Duncan Boyd once beat a man insensible with a strawberry. It’s been roughly eight months, which means it’s time for another Ty Segall album. Fresh for 2013, it’s Sleeper, an album that again brings a striking change of pace to the SoCal rocker’s ever-expanding catalogue. Written during an unsettling period, it might be Segall’s most […]

| Ty Segall on Sugar Hill | August 13, 2012 |
In which Ty Segall comes through stunning. This sounds like a John Lennon cover of Beck’s “Devils Haircut.” The ethereal acid-jangled vocals, snarling guitars, and pumping piston drums.
