Here in Europe people are talking about Ty Segall like he's the new Jay Reatard. I think he's an interesting guy, some Sic Alps stuff is really cool, Epsilons (Ty with Charlie Moonheart) is very nice, his solo-output has some highlights. I LOVE the split lp he did with Black Time, and his T-Rex album on Goner is just amazing. This week I listened to his new album "Goodbye Bread", out on Drag City. I think it's THEE disappointment of 2011. What a waste of vinyl this is. It's just boring and nagging. What do you think?

give it some time, it grows - I first didn't like goodbye bread too much, now I just love it!

And soon the Ty Segall Band will show up and that could be a kick ass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FSTSlyB9sQ

Sounds good to me.

It's a total grower I think, took me a few listens. Sure not as rocking as his other releases but awesome in it's own right. The production is spot on, especially guitar sound on the solos. I also don't see the compassion between Ty & Jay, other than the pretty broad "Garage" label  both brilliant but coming from a totally different place in my opinion.

Got his album but haven't had too much time to listen to it just yet. Got to see him play in Melbourne, Australia last night..was fucking amazing. Best show I've seen in ages...consisted of a few covers, old/new stuff & one really strange drunk heckler.

I live in Europe but I must say that actualy I never liked so much Jay Reatards. Yes he was also a prolific one-man guy, but totally different in many respects...

yep, i will stick to the "Melted" and "Lemon" albums, awesome. I fond "Goodbye Bread" less intense but good.

Boring and nagging? Dude, look in the mirror and rethink your style. Ty Segall is an awesome musician. Is there a contest going on that I don't know about to make each album better than the last? Does artisitc freedom mean anything to "rock critics"? I've heard most of the songs on "Goodbye Bread" and I like it a lot. Now, here's your sign Robdaswamp and here's half a peace sign with a smile.

Well, he lists, among his favorites, sublime, alkaline trio and squirrel nut zippers, so there ya go.

Thanks!  We'd be honored.  How does one go about submitting a song for the hideout comp series?  Also, which song did you like most?

Not bad! You guys should get busy and submit a song for the Hideout comp series.

I think you might like our stuff.  It's more like the energetic stuff that Ty's known for.  I actually liked Goodbye Bread but it was definitely a change of pace.

I've had the album for a week now and this thread has pushed me to finally crack it open and give it a listen. My first thoughts are that while I don't think it's bad, I doubt I'll listen to it much. My Head Explodes is the highlight for me right now...

Update: Actually this shit is pretty good. It's all just slow in regards to tempo. It has a place in my record collection. It fits a certain mood for sure.

Fun Guns.. I love it. Thanks for the download! Now come play in Cleveland. :)

My favorite Ty project outside of his solo stuff is the Traditional Fools. I love his body of work though and think he's a genius. In some ways I do see parallels to Jay.

 

As to this record it does stray a tad from his "expected" sound ... leaning slightly away from the garagey thing and a bit towards a more indie sound.. but isn't a negative in this case. He's showing range.  

 

His evolution has been exciting to follow. I have no doubt he will continue to evolve and give us more.

 

 (On a side note: I do his hair!) 

it seems some peeps here are trying to convince me that Ty is evolving, up to the next level. I think it's a good thing artists are stepping up, but in this case, for me, it's a step down. Jay Reatard was moving away from the garage-scene with his Matador-releases, Black Lips same thing on Vice. Going more "commercial" isn't a bad thing, for the band/artist and a lot of fans go with it. But Ty isn't stepping up, he's lazy, with a nagging sound, boring songs. I still love listening to the new Black Lips, or the Matador releases by Jay. On the other hand, one bad album doesn't make him a bad dude. Let's see what he comes up with next.

Fuck me, forget Ty Segall for a second, did you read that "do we need rock n roll" debate mentioned in that review?

" If we’re going to strip rock n’ roll back to its first principles and concentrate on it in its purest form, then we reached the zenith in the 1990s with Weezer’s first record and Lemonhead’s It’s A Shame About Ray; two records which can’t be improved upon." Christ.

I'll defend this album.  He's growing up a little bit, and he's showing that there's more to his talents than fuzzed out, high speed punk thrashers.  This is a definitely a much more mellow album, and if you've read any interviews he's given about it, he purposely made it less intense than his previous releases.  Goodbye Bread is heavily influenced by T. Rex, Neil Young, and the Endless Summer soundtrack.  It's link punk and glam filtered through California sun and surf.  He fucking nailed this, and holy sweet jesus, it's fantastic.

 

Check out this interview to see where he's coming from on this record: http://www.pitchfork.com/news/42442-ty-segall-talks-serious-new-album/

i dont think Goodby Bread sucks, its just a bit lazier than his previous releases.

i think you can tell too he wrote alot of the songs acoustically so its a lot more laid back. his t-rex cover on this album and the actual Goner release blew me away, loved it.

plus, this wont be the last thing we hear from him either, hopefully he comes back with that reckless fuzzy energy.

I stopped bothering to pay attention to him after the truly awful Roy Orbison cover he did. I love Roy Orbison and what he did was a fucking disgrace! It just sounded lazy and a bit like an after thought.

Wow, I'm glad I've avoided "Goodbye Bread." I'm with you, I really liked his stuff w/ the Epsilons and early solo releases. Thanks for the warning. ;)
