Ty Segall - "You Make The Sun Fry" & "I Can't Feel It" (Goodbye Bread) Drag City 2011

Its taken me a long time to post something about this record. If you follow the blog at all, or know me, you know that I dig Ty. "Lemons" and "Melted" are two records that I still enjoy, even though I've listened to them countless times over the past couple years. Perhaps it is for this reason that when I first heard Ty's latest release on Drag City "Goodbye Bread"...I was a bit disappointed. I've read lots of reviews about how Bread was meant to be a record where Ty could put aside all of the bells and whistles of his blown-out garage psych sound and just focus on simply writing good songs. To me, Bread sounded more like rough mixes of the album I would've liked to hear. Something about the pace, tempo, and production of the record just seemed...well, kinda weak. The songs were good, but nothing that would have drawn me in to immediate repeat listens (like his past records). I essentially gave up on the record...until recently. After giving it a little more time to grow on me, I've decided that I do like Bread after all. Its not what I had expected as a follow up to Melted, but then, how the hell do you follow up a record like Melted? Bread isn't about jaw dropping garage rock party anthems. If anything, it seems Ty is trying to tell us that he's grown up a bit. But is that a good thing? Well...let's see what his next record sounds like.

[news to us] Ty Segall to release "Goodbye Bread" LP on DRAG CITY

Here at pRIMORDIAL sOUNDS, we're Ty Segall mega-fans. So we're pretty psyched to hear that Ty will be releasing a new LP entitled "Goodbye Bread" later this year on one of our fav's, Drag City. Ty was recently interviewed over at Altered Zones and had this to say about the new record:

"I recorded it with my buddy Eric [Bauer] in his basement... I tend to rush, and all my other records have been like, “Just get it done, go go go go go!” With this one, we were like, “We’re gonna take six months, and not finish until it’s the best songs.” That gives you the opportunity to get really weird and experiment. I did that with Melted; I was trying a bunch of stuff on it that I’d never done before. But this is just like one step further, and I’m really happy with it. I think it’s the best one."

Needless to say we are excited.

We'll be sure to give further updates as news unfolds / tracks are released, but in the meantime, check out this video below of Ty performing the title track for the peoples over at TheTripWire!
