Anyone who showed up primarily to hear Melted (one of four albums he's doing on this run, in addition to Goodbye Bread, Emotional Mugger and Manipulator) who wasn't savvy to First Taste left knowing that despite his breakneck pace, Segall's ability to deliver deceptively well-crafted lo-fi gems hasn't faltered.
left knowing that despite his breakneck pace, Segall's ability to deliver deceptively well-crafted lo-fi gems hasn't faltered. From the psych-folk oddity "I Sing Them" to the double drum attack of "The Fall" to the cacophonous sax blasts played over a propulsive groove on "Self Esteem," the off-kilter magic ofcaptivated, especially with the Freedom Band giving the songs an extra burst of adrenaline.
Segall, for his part, continues to astonish as a live force, whether seated behind the drums, sending out scorching guitar licks, singing in his snarly, winking tone or subtly directing the Freedom Band .opener "Finger," the front of the audience started moshing and crowdsurfing, transporting longtime fans back to 2010 when Segall broughtto the cramped, sweaty but always energetic crowd at Brooklyn's sadly defunct Death by Audio.
From the snotty, girl group-indebted "Girlfriend" to the fuzzy curio "Mike D's Coke" to the sunbaked shuffle of album closer "Alone,"has lost none of its blistering, shambolic charm over the years -- and from the audience's reaction, people have hardly tired of it. Or Segall, for that matter.
With Ty's twofer full-album concerts, he's reminding people not only of his substantial, idiosyncratic catalog, but of the fact that when it comes to live rock in 2019, nobody does melodic garage distortion better than Ty Segall. He just might go down in rock history as not merely the most prolific, but the most consistent, rock quantity of the 2010s, both on wax and on stage.
