#514 Ty Segall and White Fence - Hair

Man, this Ty Segall kid can rock. I found Goodbye Bread disappointing, but here the hooks and the inventiveness and the nerve are back in full force. The sound is still pretty sludgy, but the instruments make themselves heard, tracing circles around eachother while vocal outbursts streak outward. The effect is hypnotic without beig narcotic, a peculiar blend of sounds that isn't quite psychadelic, isn't quite indie rock, sounding a bit like what you wish the Beta Band had turned into and what Ariel Pink wishes he could be 4/5
