Ty Segall - 2012 - Twins

 

Drag City – DC530  252.98MB FLAC

Twins sharpens Ty Segall’s garage-rock chaos into something heavier, stranger and more immediately melodic. The guitars arrive in thick layers of fuzz, but beneath the overload are hooks strong enough to survive almost any amount of distortion. Songs such as “You’re the Doctor,” “The Hill” and “Would You Be My Love” combine glam swagger, psychedelic unease and punk momentum without settling comfortably into any one style. Segall’s voice shifts between sneer, howl and vulnerable melody, giving the album a restless emotional edge. Twins feels more controlled than Melted, but never polished clean. It is a loud, infectious record that captures an artist learning how to turn raw energy into a world of his own.
