Ty Segall with La Luz, Axis: Sova, and Mexican Knives

The news is it out! Ty Segall is on the loose again and going for broke with Manipulator (released on 8/26), an all-new, all-ROCK double-LP, also available on cassette and compact disc. Multicolored manias abound as our young fuzz-master breaks the dials in search of the ultimate distortion, combing dark and light tones together into the long hair of seventeen songs. Fresh beats abound and savage rock sits heavily next to hip-shakin' sunshine pop as Ty sets the kitchen sink on fire! Yeah - it's true that Manipulator features some of the heaviest tones every emitted from the Segall stack, but there's also some of the cleanest tones Ty's ever created in there too, some sounds not before heard in Ty-land and touches from rock in a sweet place too - but the songs never queit, and it all grinds together like the gears of the machine that'll CRUSH YOU if you don't pay attention, plus it's all laced together with a dynamic display of vocalese, making Manipulator an everlasting MOST of an album.

With LA LUZ.
