About this product

(what are they thinking)

guitars sliced with scribble

graffiti sprawled across the hemispheres;
stuttered, stunted, dual-mono machine dreams flashing sudden stereophobic and back again / two screens alone together

squeezing shaking oozing
metallic pool like brain blood,

slowly draining away
all mental life.

shaking ass / nihility at most corrodes

candy’s gone no more

fun

By DOUG MOSUROCK • 8 MINUTES AGO

Barreling on after a non-stop flurry of activity over the past eight years, Ty Segall is dropping his 10th solo album in the dead of winter, its cover depicting a Xeroxed baby head as it peers out of the fold amid a field of toner-black gradients. Staring into that disquieting image is adequate preparation for Emotional Mugger, which feels as fractured and delirious as anything he's recorded.

Segall's last solo album, Manipulator, showcased both polish and conceptual harmony that seemed inevitable, given the directions the garage-rock wunderkind was heading. But it would appear now that Segall wants to run screaming in the opposite direction, crawl directly into listener's minds and do some rewiring. The pop hooks, fuzz guitar and Anglicized vocals fans expect are all here, but Segall seems indifferent to his own playbook, throwing in corkscrews of weirdness like elbows to the head whenever he feels like it.

"Squealer" changes fidelity midstream, while synthesized counter-melodies draw tracers around the lopsided title track, all to a mid-tempo thump that corrals the brightness of Segall's earlier works into a medicated snarl. Recalling the heavier work of his band Fuzz, "Diversion" pairs its catchiness with force engineered to blow your hair back; Segall turns an unusually sweet corner with the aptly titled "Candy Sam," even employing a small children's choir to sing the chorus. If you've ever wondered how Segall might channel the early, risk-taking triumphs of Beck, much of the evidence is right here.

Throughout this reinvention, many signposts of compatriots' work surface. The whole of Emotional Mugger seems closer to the paisley abandon of White Fence — and the bizarre, druggy pulse of Segall's proteges in WAND — than even his own fractured earlier works might indicate. But Emotional Mugger exists more as a head trip than any stab at continuity and making friends. It's a wild, twisted ride into and out of Segall's psyche — the sound of a restless mind attempting to turn itself inside out.

RADIO BROADCAST #354
01–10–16

Fanatic. On the third of January, Jason Mackenroth, drummer in Mother Superior, Rollins Band and Blue Man Group passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was a good man and left too early. I was lucky enough to speak with him a few days before he died. It was good to have the chance to hear his voice one last time. I will really miss him.

We have assembled a great batch of songs here. We would like to thank Ty Segall for sending us an advance of his excellent new album, Emotional Mugger, dropping on Jan. 22, on Drag City. I have listened to it a few times now and can safely say, the man has done it again. He has tour dates all over the place. I will be reading them off on upcoming shows.

Also, prepare yourself for a lot of great new records on the In the Red label to rock upcoming shows. Charles Moothart, the blazing guitar player in Fuzz, has a solo album, Still Life of Citrus & Slime, coming out later this year on ITR. We have it and have been given the green light to start playing it. We kick in with all that on Jan. 31.

It’s going to be a good year for records and shows. We are allied with a lot of excellent labels, which will be keeping us in the loop on what’s happening, and we will be bringing whatever we can to you as soon as possible.

If you feel like it, you can help the Mackenroth family via GoFundMe.

Hang in there and stay fanatic.
