It is not an
overstatement to say that 2012 was the year of Ty Segall. Orange
Country rock n' roller somehow managed to release three albums last year and
spent endless hours on the road, while participating in a number of
festivals such as SXSW, CMW, and NXNE. I found his name included in best-of
articles throughout the year wherever I go.
Segall kicked off 2013
with a North American tour in support of his latest album, Twins and
released a brand new peculiar video, Thank God For
Sinners. This song indicates that this young gun is not confined
within his main genre of lo-fi garage rock, which set him apart from other
musicians by far. Sparkles of glam rock in the tune shine through the entire
song and spices up his psychedelic garage melodies. When I first saw his
performance of this song on Conan last year, I got goose pumps all over. His
charismatic performance reminded me of the moment that I witnessed Jack White
on TV when I was teen. (White Stripes at the time) That's how excited I am for
Segall to see what he can deliver in 2013.
If you would like to
witness what I mean in person, you are in luck. Ty Segall is performing on
Wednesday, February 6th at the Phoenix Threatre.
