Ty Segall

"Mr. Face"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jan 7, 2015

Yes, yes, we're all anxiously awaiting the moment we get to strap a pair of 7-inches onto our mugs to peep the crazy 3D artwork for Ty Segall's Mr. Face, but for now let's just appreciate the less gimmicky part of the prolific psych-pop wonder's new release. A stream of the EP's rough and tumble title track is now online.

Country-shufflin' acoustic strums and a series of loose guitar licks fill the front end, where Segall describes the titular character as a man of modest means. Later on, though, a punched-up backbeat supports the assertion that as long as the sun's still shining, everything is going to be alright.

Segall's colour-coded double vinyl release lands January 13 via Famous Class.
