Stop and Listen: Ty Segall's "Girlfriend"

by Ciaran Thompson

Formerly a one man band, San Francisco’s Ty Segall has become the new kid on the block in terms of garage-punk or psych or whatever you want to call it rock music, or at least the youngest. Over the past three years he’s released three albums and his latest entitled Melted, might be the best yet. It provides a fresh listen to some stripped down rock n roll with heavily distorted vocals and guitars, yet it still manages to keep a melodious side that springs to mind some early Kinks recordings. On “Girlfriend,” off Melted, the opening wall of sound changes to the hand-clap assisted snappy number with Segall’s vocals in full force. The added piano near the end is a nice touch as well. Have a listen below.
