In 11 tracks, under forty minutes, Ty Segall Band pushes their amps to capacity, sing as hard as they can, and seem to have a hell of a lot of fun in this proto-punk-influenced jam session. The album recalls the noisy garage punk of The Trashwomen and The Mummies as much as it sounds similar to early-Stooges and Black Sabbath, yet somehow is much bigger and louder than any of the above. Slaughterhouse very much plays as a combination of Ty’s more recent 70-psych affairs with the early garage noise done by him as well as Cronin & Moon’s other band, Moonhearts. On that live album, we got to hear how hard-rockin’ Ty Segall’s live band can be.ĭue to this praise for his live lineup of Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moon, and Emily Rose Epstein, Ty decided to record a full-length with the whole band involved under the name “Ty Segall Band,” with which they give us Slaughterhouse. Aside from his releases, his live show is also something that constantly gets praised, and he captured it terrifically well on 2011’s Live In Aisle Five. Ty Segall releases a bunch of stuff, and though some may be better than others, he always manages to have ¾ of a release that you’re guaranteed to love. Rex covers, and a comprehensive collection of early singles.
Since then, Ty’s released a terrific live album, the heady-pop record Goodbye Bread, an album with White Fence, an EP of T. His biggest and best albums seemed to have come with 2009’s collaborative album with Mikal Cronin, Reverse Shark Attack, and his 2010 solo album, Melted. The guy is a workhorse, yet pervades the feeling of someone that loves punk just as much as he loves laid-back, stoner-y vibes. Starting out with the Epsilons and his solo stuff in 20, since then Ty’s appeared and collaborated on ten albums in an unbelievably short amount of time. Ty Segall has been setting the garage rock scene on fire for the past six years.
