Ty Segall performs at Comet Ping Pong, 5307 Connecticut Ave. Segall has both diversified and focused his sound, making for his best album to date, but probably not for too long. That's the template that holds up throughout the album: Woozy mid-tempo rhythm, soft verse, loud surge is the general pattern of almost all of the 10 songs, but each is well-rounded enough to stand on its own. It's an elementally simple song but one that packs multiple payoffs in its two minutes.
"Comfortable Home" marches along slowly, comes to a halt during the chorus, slowly revs back up, indulges a mini-fuzz freakout and wraps up with some effective harmonies. The title track sets the tone with a lilting rhythm, sweet falsetto vocals and jangling guitars it sounds closer to something from John Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" than anything from the "Nuggets" box set. This time, he lets the material breathe a bit, revealing a songwriter who understands dynamics and has a surprisingly vulnerable voice. Segall usually plays his songs as fast as he releases them, a blur of speedy guitars and primal bashing. On "Goodbye Bread," Segall consolidates his gains, slows down the tempo and takes his place at the head of the current garage-rock class. The 23-year-old Bay Area bro is almost peerless when it comes to wrapping tasty hooks in just the right amount of fuzz and feedback, and he might have already recorded his defining album it's just that its songs are scattered around a few dozen releases. Ty Segall is a young man with an acute case of garage-rock proliferitis.
