Move it just a couple more notches to the center, and Goodbye Bread could’ve been a Black Keys album. But as his rapidly…

With Slaughterhouse, totemic garage-rock figure Ty Segall bucks trends and goes bigger with a pleasing bang.

Ty Segall has been a busy man over the last few months. With Slaughterhouse , we see the second of what’s expected to be…

On Slaughterhouse, San Francisco garage wunderkind Ty Segall steps into the studio with his touring band—Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart, and Emily Rose Epstein—with the fuzz pedals set to stun.
