Ty Segall [Drag City/Goner Records - San Francisco, CA]
============================================
http://ty-segall.com/

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 with Mike Donovan of the Sic Alps in late 2009 and early 2010 to come up with Melted. It’s 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!

“Ty Segall’s short, sharp songs peal out of the garage without raising the doors, sending 1960s rock riffs crashing through splintered, smart-ass lo-fi buzz.” — Pitchfork

“His second album, Lemons, solidifies his standing as one to watch…. There are few moments when Ty Segall isn’t irresistibly catchy.” — Nylon

“Warped sonics do nothing to diminish the impact of his vigorously nostalgic riff and stomp. Segall thunders along with the timeless, impudently rowdy energy of a cement basement dance-off.” — Spin


White Fence [Woodsist - Los Angeles/San Francisco, CA]
============================================
http://whitefenceartcollective.blogspot.com/

“Tim Presley is a member of the bands Darker My Love and the Strange Boys, which do variations of dirtied-up psychedelic pop. White Fence is his third band and much more idiosyncratic. It’s just Mr. Presley making songs as complicated as he wants, with his multitracked asthmatic voice and his gift for weird, wayward song hooks. On White Fence, just released on CD by Woodsist, drum rhythms stumble and recohere; chord changes are half-forgotten or blown altogether. Audio quality changes from track to track or even in the middle of a song, and so does the music’s speed. The album sounds as if it were mastered on a cassette machine with failing batteries. This whole enterprise is way, way moth eaten: the Syd Barrett/1960s Los Angeles garage-punk influences, the dirty-on-purpose sound quality, the overmodulated guitar leads.

By a certain logic it should be a stone loser. But so much in music comes down to conviction. There’s something ritual about these songs, as if Mr. Presley had been carrying them in his head, with all their details, for a long time. Listen even once, and they’re hard to shake. All of Mr. Presley’s strange touches start to seem significant and obsessively desired: a short background sigh, a few seconds of harmonica or xylophone, a new strain plopped into the middle of a song that leads nowhere, a guitar solo that’s longer than it needs to be. It’s mannered and indirect music, but he’s a poet of that.”

— BEN RATLIFF, The New York Times

Useless Eaters [Southpaw Records - Nashville, TV]

========================================

SETH SUTTON clearly made a name for himself in 2011 releasing two critically acclaimed LP’s (Daily Commute, Zulu) and a singles compilation LP featuring sold out 7”s from Goner, Goodbye Boozy, and Jay Reatard’s Shattered label to name a few. Seth has created a brand of punk that is hook heavy, angry, and sleazy all at the same time that keeps us wanting more. Seth starts off 2012 with a new LP (C'est Bon! on Southpaw Records), an EP (The Moves on Jolly Dream records) and a second full length out early summer.
