░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ Ty Segall is in an odd position. The San ░
░ Francisco garage-rocker has always been ░
░ prolific, but after four years of albums, ░
░ collaborations, singles, and covers, his ░
░ discography has become particularly ░
░ unwieldy. His output from the past year ░
░ alone has been diverse. On Slaughterhouse ░
░ (and on stage), he's an impish, thrashing ░
░ apostle of hardcore and 1970s hard rock. ░
░ With Hair, his collaborative album with ░
░ White Fence, he angled for jam-heavy, ░
░ psych-leaning rock'n'roll. Only a year ░
░ ago, he delivered his "serious" album ░
░ Goodbye Bread, where he both cooed calmly ░
░ and screamed about an exploding head. ░
░ Impressively, all three of those albums ░
░ are really good. It's a testament to ░
░ Segall as a restless songwriter who can ░
░ adapt to, and successfully execute, ░
░ several different styles. So here we are ░
░ with Twins, his third LP of 2012, which ░
░ stands at the intersection of all of his ░
░ recent interests. ░
░ ░
░ In the tradition of Lemons and Melted, ░
░ which each had ballads alongside searing ░
░ garage punk, the new album doesn't have a ░
░ unified focus. With the exception of ░
░ frenzied, shredding highlight "You're the ░
░ Doctor", there's nothing especially ░
░ aggressive. "Gold on the Shore" is his ░
░ acoustic-driven, folky, sentimental love ░
░ song. Then there's "The Hill", the bleary ░
░ psych track where Segall's voice recalls ░
░ John Lennon's on "Tomorrow Never Knows". ░
░ (The track also features some beautiful ░
░ vocals from Thee Oh Sees' Brigid Dawson.) ░
░ There are familiar elements from Segall's ░
░ backlog in play, like that specific fuzz ░
░ guitar tone, which is something like his ░
░ trademark at this point, and some ░
░ two-minute songs-- a number that's ░
░ especially apparent on his recent Singles ░
░ collection. Those bite-sized singles pop ░
░ next to lengthier tracks like "Ghost", ░
░ the slower stoned jam, or the romantic ░
░ and apocalyptic closer "There Is No ░
░ Tomorrow". With each new song, hook, ░
░ idea, and tone, it's increasingly clear ░
░ that Twins doesn't fit in any one box. ░
░ It's a grab bag, and it's easy to view it ░
░ as a disappointment-- to look at Segall's ░
░ disparities in 2012 and want him to pick ░
░ a sound and follow it for 12 tracks. But ░
░ alongside his engineer partner Eric Bauer ░
░ (often credited as "King Riff"), he ░
░ delivers a series of songs that, despite ░
░ their aesthetic differences, flow very ░
░ well. Even when he makes a significant ░
░ jump, like from the giddy rampage of ░
░ "You're the Doctor" to the paranoid ░
░ stoicism of "Inside Your Heart", there's ░
░ usually an easy thematic or sonic ░
░ transition that keeps the album from ░
░ sounding like a compilation. In that way, ░
░ it's close in format to Goodbye Bread, ░
░ which maintained cohesion despite several ░
░ shifts in delivery and tone. Twins' ░
░ offerings, however, are far more sugary ░
░ and immediate: faster tempos, thicker ░
░ fuzz, more power. ░
░ ░
░ Lyrically, Segall thrives in two modes: ░
░ songs about love with very ░
░ straightforward wording ("Love Fuzz" is a ░
░ falsetto stab at seduction; the content ░
░ of "Would You Be My Love" is pretty much ░
░ stated right there in the title), and ░
░ stories with a more fantastical bent. The ░
░ latter approach was prevalent on ░
░ Slaughterhouse and especially "I Bought ░
░ My Eyes", and it comes into play here ░
░ with the darkly abstract "Handglams" and ░
░ the creepy "is it living inside of me" ░
░ tale of "Inside Your Heart". ░
░ In the liner notes, Segall writes two ░
░ things that feel fitting for Twins. "This ░
░ record is for San Francisco." That makes ░
░ sense-- the man's a frontrunner to become ░
░ San Francisco's garage laureate. But he's ░
░ also talking about his friends and ░
░ inspirations-- he mentions White Fence's ░
░ Tim Presley, Thee Oh Sees' John Dwyer, ░
░ and the rest of the Ty Segall Band by ░
░ name. It's easy to hear how the album ░
░ fits tidily in San Francisco's bigger ░
░ picture-- to hear Dwyer's ░
░ "falsetto-as-primary-vocal" on "Love ░
░ Fuzz" and "Handglams", to hear Sic Alps' ░
░ elegant minimalism on "Gold on the ░
░ Shore", to hear the whole town's penchant ░
░ for mysterious and druggy storytelling, ░
░ etc. ░
░ ░
░ His final "thank you" in the liner notes ░
░ goes to Neil Young, an artist who, as ░
░ soon as the masses pegged him with a ░
░ genre, did whatever the fuck he wanted to ░
░ do and didn't look back; who never ░
░ compromised on his vision, even when it ░
░ meant making a bizarre, shitty rockabilly ░
░ album in 1983; who famously "headed for ░
░ the ditch" when he felt his radio hits ░
░ were "middle of the road." Twins doesn't ░
░ stick to the middle or even pick a lane. ░
░ It swerves, visiting territory well-tread ░
░ with a perspective that feels new, and ░
░ knowing Segall, he probably won't make ░
░ another album that sounds like it any ░
░ time soon. ░
