You\u2019ve got no plans but a good idea \u2013 get in trouble. This is the kind of night\/ride\/romp that starts with a kicked-in bar door and ends in a fight. A soundtrack for such an evening needs to be equal parts trash and moxie. The kind of filth that accompanies a droptop ride through the desert waiting for the goods to kick in.<\/p>\n
This is that album.<\/p>\n
Surprise, surprise; another Ty Segall side-project. At this point, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that he puts out at least three albums a year under various pseudonyms, but we also shouldn\u2019t be surprised that his projects aren\u2019t sonically homogenous. Yes, he has an inclination towards fuzzy, abrasive, psych-punk and these elements are present on almost all of his albums, but he doesn\u2019t let himself get stuck in what he\u2019s comfortable with.<\/p>\n
The debut, self-titled album by Segall\u2019s newest group, G\u00f8ggs, features Segall on drums, Charlie Moothart (of Fuzz) on guitar and Chris Shaw (of Ex-Cult) on vocals. While Segall did write most of the music, his role on drums makes the album more of a group effort rather than just another addition to Ty Segall\u2019s perpetually growing repertoire. Shaw\u2019s deep, gruff growling gives this album a distinctly 80\u2019s California punk sound, much like Darby Crash of the Germs. Moothart, one the most underrated guitarists of modern rock, displays an array of sounds from primitive punk to complex math rock riffs which elevates this album just enough to be more than plain garage rock. Highlights of the album are \u201cFalling In,\u201d \u201cShe Got Harder,\u201d and \u201cGlendale Junkyard,\u201d but all the songs are equally heavy and headbangable.<\/p>\n
