Ty Segall - Melted (2010)


Ty Segall released 'Melted', his 4th solo album on Monday and although I've only heard the 'Caesar' single on Spotify and 'Girlfriend' (over on RStB), this is definitely on my wishlist. I enjoyed his previous 2 efforts and if you need some carefree fuzzy sing alongs now that the sun has returned, make sure you check him out!
"San Francisco psych wunderkind Ty Segall continues a tireless musical assault on ears and minds with his third album, Melted. Segall says it sounds like "cherry cola, Sno-Cones and taffy." Indeed! Over the past two years he's released records more often than most people do laundry, but somehow there is still a heap of anticipation for this new album on Goner packed full of truly psychedelic pop songs with great vocals and exciting arrangements.
On the heels of two critically acclaimed solo albums, Segall holed up in a basement studio in late 2009 to begin recording Melted. Friends occasionally dropped by to hang out and help--including Mike Donovan (Sic Alps), John Dwyer (Thee Oh-Sees) and Eric Bauer (Crack W.A.R.). The result is a carefree yet precise balance of acoustic and electric elements. Distorted echo and thunder mix together with enough clean guitar lines and addictive choruses to deliver an album that recalls the '60s without sounding like anything created during that decade. Time melts away, vision melts away, minds melt away. Get Melted!"

Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin - Reverse Shark Attack





Ty Segall is back already with a joint LP with Mikal Cronin (Okie Dokie, Charlie and the Moonhearts, who I must confess is new to me. The LP is called 'Reverse Shark Attack' and includes a cover of Pink Floyd's 'Take up Thy Stethoscope and Walk'. It has been described by the band's label as "a 10-track delight of psychedelic garage jams" and from what I've heard so far, it shouldn't disappoint!

Albums I Enjoyed In 2009




I think it would be impossible to even attempt to compile a Top 50 of 2009, simply because one, I probably haven't listened to 50 new albums this year and two, if I had there's no way I could've given them all the attention they deserve for them to become a favourite. Therefore, I thought I'd list some albums I enjoyed from 2009.
Obviously, you'll probably read it and say "I can't believe he missed this or that", but if you think I should give something a listen please leave a comment. Sure, there are a few albums that featured heavily in major lists that I didn't care for too much, but there are just as many that I just never got around to listening to.

There are quite a few albums I'm just getting round to listening to and would probably make the list, but I haven't given them enough attention yet for the to join the list. For example, I recently got into Kurt Vile, but haven't got round to listening to his latest album 'Childish Prodigy' and I love Espers, Bob Dylan and Sufjan Stevens but haven't listened to their latest albums as of yet. Also, I've recently been listening to Dam-Funk's 'Toeachizown', Dinosaur Jr's new album, The Mantles and Flaming Lips' 'Embryonic' and I like the sound of them, but just haven't heard them enough to warrant a place in my favourite's list.

Ty Segall - Lemons



 If you like any of the current trend of lo-fi bands or are into 60s psych at all, Ty Segall is a must. The album clocks in at just over 25 minutes and rocks pretty hard the whole way through and before you know it you'll be hitting play again! This first video is AWESOME! Check the album out for free on Spotify:
