In The Red is happy as a pig in shit to announce the debut
release by the Ty Segall Band. The Ty Segall Band is Ty
Segall (obviously), Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moonheart
and Emily Rose Epstein. While Segall has released many
incredible solo releases, Slaughterhouse marks the first that
he recorded with his touring band.
For this mini-album (it’s only ten inches, but you get two!)
the band recorded with Chris Woodhouse at the Hangar,
turned their amps all the way up, set their fuzz pedals on
obliterate and commenced to kick ass and take names. Seriously, this record will melt your face. All of Segall’s usual psych-pop sensibilities are present but Slaughterhouse
adds the full-throttle, go-for-the-throat bombast that the
band delivers in the live setting. The fuzz riffs, bratty howl
and Cro-Magnon bashing culminate with a feedback freakout that’s clearly the only sensible way to end a workout of
this magnitude.
