Ty Segall - Melted

San Francisco psych wunderkind Ty Segall continues a tirelessmusical 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 oftenthan most people do laundry, but somehow there is still a heap ofanticipation for this new album on Goner packed full of trulypsychedelic pop songs with great vocals and exciting arrangements.On the heels of two critically acclaimed solo albums, Segallholed up in a basement studio with Mike Donovan of the SicAlps in late 2009 and early 2010 to come up with Melted. It sa carefree yet precise balance of acoustic and electric elements.Distorted echo and thunder mix together with enough clean guitarlines and addictive choruses to deliver an album that recallsthe 60s without sounding like anything created during that decade.Time melts away, vision melts away, minds melt away. GetMelted! Ty Segall s short, sharp songs peal out of the garage withoutraising the doors, sending 1960s rock riffs crashing throughsplintered, smart-ass lo-fi buzz. Pitchfork His second album, Lemons, solidifies his standing as one towatch.... There are few moments when Ty Segall isn t irresistiblycatchy. Nylon Warped sonics do nothing to diminish the impact of his vigorouslynostalgic riff and stomp. Segall thunders along withthe timeless, impudently rowdy energy of a cement basementdance-off.
