![]() ![]() This diversity and funk is continued through to the following track ‘Despoiler of Cadaver’, which carries a sound that I have not heard from anything Ty has ever released. ![]() ‘Freedom’s Goblin’ is constantly boasting Ty’s range as an artist, especially with the cover of Hot Chocolates ‘Every 1’s A Winner’, Ty manages to blend his distorted guitar into the hit disco song in a way that superb, it still carries the same amount of groove and funk as the original, but with that distinctive Ty sound. Watch/listen to ‘Fanny’on The Conan Show here: This is heard several times over through the album with tracks such as ‘My Lady’s On Fire’, an acoustic ramble (again with added trumpet to spice things up) that is utterly beautiful. It’s an element to Ty’s work that has always bemused me, he has a way of bringing serenity throughout his albums, one track will melt your lips right off your face and the next could be a beautifully crafted jaunt into serenity. Yet following track ‘Rain’ withdraws the energy and sprawls into a world of psychedlia, reminiscent of The Beatles. The opener is excessive in it’s swagger, especially as it is a song about Ty’s dog. Opening with the ferocious ‘Fanny’, a track awash in a heavy hook backed by a wall of brass that helps drive the tracks riffs to an almost melting point. However, it’s not much of the same for Ty, throughout the album you are invited to feast on a bout of new sounds, it feels like Ty has allowed his brain to be splattered across the record like never before. The album is full to the brim with hook laden tracks, tangent driven solos and excessive amounts of energy. The 19 track goliath is a mix of Ty’s retrospective sound that blends punk, classic rock and psychedelia. His most recent endeavour ‘Freedom’s Goblin’ is arguably his strongest work to date as well as his most coherent. Although personally I have always felt that Ty is at his most refined with his solo projects such as Ty Segall and The Freedom Band and The Ty Segall Band and as just Ty Segall. However, he always remains true to his core of blending ferocious garage rock with classic rock elements, even in side-projects such as Fuzz and Goggs the recognizable magic touch of Ty remains. Ty Segall is somewhat of a rock chameleon that has the amazing ability to shapeshift into a variety of roles and sounds. ![]()
