Ty SegallOn this album, multi-instrumentalist Ty Segall chose to record with a band rather than himself.
The sentiment is nice but there's no obvious difference in sound compared to previous records, which is a blessing for those who were hoping he'd stick to the well tried and tested formula, less so for those hoping for a departure from psych-rock or doom-metal, a sound he and John Dwyer have been re-pioneering for over a decade now. Psych and doom are here in spades, but it's again the quality of songwriting that lifts Segall above the rest. Less immediately accessible tracks, like a fine wine, get better with repeat plays and it's a very welcome kick-start to 2017.
