"It’s slightly haphazard but a goldmine for fans of skuzz."

More Ty Segall More Ty Segall

Chameleon-like Californian garage tycoon Ty Segall is a restless creature, wont to drop a seven-inch on some obscure label at the drop of a hat, and this second collection of stand-alone tracks collates non-album singles and B-sides from the era encompassing albums Goodbye Bread (2011), Twins (2012) and Sleeper (2013).

It’s slightly haphazard but a goldmine for fans of skuzz, with cool originals (Spiders, Fucked Up Motherfucker) augmented by choice covers (Velvet Underground’s Femme Fatale, The Groundhogs’ Cherry Red). A cool collection by a man with a clear affinity for the Rock.
