Twins

Description

Post-garage, post-surf, post-psyche, post-lo-fi... These are some of the terms used by the media to describe TY SEGALL's music. This charming Laguna Beach, California native. At just twenty-five years old, he possesses a musical knowledge so gargantuan it would astound kids nostalgic for an era they never knew: Eddie Cochran, Captain Beefheart, The Beach Boys, The Flamin' Groovies, The Trashmen, The Kinks, The Red Krayola, Black Sabbath, The Troggs, T-Rex, The Pretty Things, Pavement, Beck... An omnivorous and prolific music lover, he has already performed vocals, guitar, and drums in numerous bands (Love Death, The Traditional Fools, Epsilons, Party Fowl, The Perverts, Sic Alps) and has released over twenty recordings under his own name (including four albums), before becoming an indie phenomenon with the release of Melted (2010), a slightly less grimy third LP. A joyful and festive creation, somewhere between the raw madness of Syd Barrett and the pantheism of Donovan, Twins brings us back scents of freedom, of simple joy where organs and guitar solos spew out their good humor and intoxicating vibes. Technical mastery, cheerful composition, TY SEGALL reconnects with the psychedelic swirls of early Red Krayola. This album is limitless pleasure.
