Ty Segall is back with a live album, cool EP

Ty Segall live

The start of the year is a good one for fans of Ty Segall, the always engaging and highly prolific psych rocker.

Last week, Ty released a very cool four-song EP. The title track, Mr. Face, is the highlight — a choogling ’60s-sounding acoustic number with a big finish. The release is available as a download but there’s also a second pressing under way for the nifty physical version. Check that out here.

Next week, Ty Segall Band’s Live in San Francisco is set for release. This is a great live album that pretty well captures Ty and his touring band’s energy on stage. Songs from the excellent 2012 album Slaughterhouse dominate, making up half the album. The release is part of a series of live show recordings put out on (Thee Oh Sees frontman) John Dwyer’s Castle Face Records.
