Ty Segall

Working as a solo act and in a number of bands and side projects, Ty Segall has released dozens of albums that have helped to define and establish the parameters of garage punk for his generation. Not content to stick to one specific style or sound, he's also ventured into hard rock, folk-rock, and heavy metal, used instruments ranging from synthesizers to xylophones, and made solo records played on acoustic guitars. Depending on the album, Segall can sound raw (2016's Emotional Mugger) or refined (2013's Sleeper), and he's capable of focused one-man-band efforts (2009's Lemons) as well as sprawling and eclectic releases with a range of collaborators (2018's Freedom's Goblin). He proves just as compelling when stripping back the noise and adding synths, as on 2021's Harmonizer, composing film music in classic style (2022's Whirlybird), or recording at home on his own (2022's subdued Hello, Hi and 2024's all-percussion Love Rudiments). No matter the sonic setting, Segall's strong melodic frameworks, creative restlessness, and the infectious intensity of his songs and performances are the constants in his ever-evolving discography.
