Pure garage rock revival, capturing not only the guitar sound but the spirit of raging against the prevailing sound, of playing like you're talented and like it doesn't matter whether you're talented, playing for the sheer joy of making a hellacious racket.
That Diddy Wah Diddy cover sums it all up: exploding the notion of covering an oft-covered early rock song by doing it harder than just about anyone ever.
Ty Segall has been prolific as hell lately: I wasn't much moved by the sludgy Goodbye Bread, but Hair (with White Fence) was a staggering blow and this is the finishing move. Iggy Stooge in a robotic suit, browing minds and crushing skulls, Segall's the only one who seems to understand what rock and roll's about these days 4.5/5
