#257 Ty Segall - Melted

I was interested in this when I saw it reviewed back in the day, but couldn't rummage up a copy. Its appearance on Pitchfork's list caused me to renew my search. Success!

I remember thinking when I read about this that it sounded right up my alley, and for the most part it is. Fuzzy, crunchy guitar rock, all stuff I like. Overloaded bass, backing acoustic strums, scuzzy production, but still totally tuneful, well paced and catchy. And short songs, I'm a fan of that. I wish it was a bit brighter at times, the scuzz gets a little daunting sometimes, but I guess I admire them for not pulling any punches. Just enough little twists and turns to keep me excited, and to get me into the territory around 4/5
