Artists starting with Ty Segall

Ty Segall, “Singles 2007-2010” (Goner, 2012)
I’ve liked everything I’ve heard by this dude, but this singles comp is far and away my fave. Segall’s take on garage-punk stands out from some of his peers in viscerally evoking the sweaty, backyard-blowout force of the genre’s founders (think Sonics). It’s physical in a way the more computer-speaker oriented stuff can’t touch. But he also has a real feel for the sheer variety of weird sound an electric guitar can produce, and he knows how to use it. The guy is a true artist, and this is definitely the best recorded evidence of the range of his palette.
