TY SEGALL

Ty Segall grew up in the sunny surf of Orange County California's Laguna Beach where he spent his young days studying, surfing, and listing to the beach boys, the misfits, and black sabbath. Ty knew he had to get away from the sun in order to truly appreciate it, so he moved up north to the port of San Francisco and was amazed at how cold it was. Despite this fact, he found a new appreciation for psychadelic music and decided that he would give it a shot. Ty Played in the traditional fools, Party Fowl, The Epsilons, Sic Alps, and The Perverts. After meeting friend John Dwyer of Oh Sees fame, Ty was lucky enough to release a solo record on Dwyers Castle Face record imprint and continued to release records on memphis label, Goner Records (Guitar Wolf, Oblivians, Carbonas, Etc.)

Ty works as a cabinet maker, loves to hang out with buds and thinks he is a very lucky person.

here is what Goner says about his latest record...

Ty Segall's latest on Goner is a huge step forward in fidelity, in songwriting, and in overall zaniness. Crazed piano solo? Check. Unexpected flute interlude? Yep! Hot rockin reverbed out Ty Segall rock? TOTAL YES! recorded with mike donovan (sic alps), eric bauer (Crack W.A.R.), tim hellman, jigmae baer, emily rose, John Dwyer (Thee Oh Sees) and charlie moonheart.  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!
