Album Review: Ty Segall, ‘Goodbye Bread’

His first full-length release on new label Drag City, SF-based Ty Segall’s Goodbye Bread is a fantastic mix of old and new. Tracks such as "You Can Make the Sun Fry" exhibit Segall at his most carnal and emotional. This album may inspire an entire generation to quit their day-jobs, pick up an old guitar and join in the garage rock debauchery.

Segall’s musical style picks up where his primitive rock influences left off, and he set out to give Goodbye Bread an “evil, evil, space rock” sound. His dirty hooks reek of the Brooklyn indie scene and the songwriting in the vein of The Stooges and T. Rex, all with a tone that made Jason Collett’s (Broken Social Scene) Rat a Tat Tat such a solid album. There is a very natural element to Segall’s songs, like he could be jamming right in your backyard, volume blasting, letting it all out.
