This mini-album married Segall’s Beatles-soaked pop hooks and production with White Fence‘s Syd Barrett-influenced, acid-damaged garage sounds. In 2012, Segall collaborated with Strange Boys‘ offshoot White Fence on Hair. Goodbye Bread marked a turn toward Segall’s softer side, evoking a John Lennon-like take on quieter and more introspective singer/songwriter fare.
The year 2011 was busy for him, with two albums - Live in Aisle Five and Goodbye Bread - scheduled for release, as well as an EP of T. The stomping results bore a striking resemblance to early garage masters such as the Sonics and the Standells, as well as proto-punks the Stooges and bedroom folk antecedent Alexander “Skip” Spence. On his solo album Lemons, however, Segall delivered a much more traditional sound, studiously re-creating ’60s guitar tones and drenching his tracks in old-school reverb. When that band splintered, he struck out on his own and started cranking out lo-fi albums, beginning with a self-titled effort on Castle Face in 2008. With that band, he practiced a rawer, snottier take on Strokes/ Vines/ White Stripes-style rock, occasionally delving into more retro territory. Ty Segall first garnered public acclaim as the lead singer of Orange County, California garage rock revivalists the Epsilons. But Segall’s simple but strong melodic frameworks, his creative restlessness, and the infectious intensity of his instrumental work on guitar and keys are the constants in his ever-evolving discography.
Depending on the album, Segall can sound raw (2016’s Emotional Mugger) or refined (2013’s Sleeper), and he’s capable of focused one-man-band efforts (2009’s Lemons) as well as sprawling and eclectic releases with a range of collaborators (2018’s Freedom’s Goblin). Working as a solo act and in a number of side projects, Segall has released literally dozens of albums since he left the Epsilons and cut his first project on his own in 2008. One of the leaders of the new psych-influenced garage rock scene that erupted in California in the late 2000s, Ty Segall has produced a catalog as prolific as it is diverse.
