Issue # 59 - 15th Anniversary
Crunchy and resolute, Ty Segall‘s newest self-titled toaster turns up some unearthed crust and butter that is both satiating and balanced. The 29-year-old’s ninth studio offering is his second self-titled, but one shouldn’t view that as an invitation to call it a reinvention.
