DEBUT VIDEO FROM TY SEGALL’S SLEEPER

http://youtu.be/kkzEBdF_3_c

The first video transmission from Ty Segall‘s new solo album, Sleeperreleased a few months ago onDrag City Records, takes the form of “The Man Man.” This film broadcasts the song’s edgy paranoia all across the little big screen, and not even Ty Segall himself is spared by this monster vision. Truly, surveillance is a bitch! We want to be seen and heard, but at what cost? Look out – “The Man Man” is looking at you too.

WHAT’S BEEN SAID ABOUT TY SEGALL’S SLEEPER:

 

“a remarkable ability to synthesize different elements of pre-1980s rock – heavy ’60s garage-rock riffs, harmonies that evoke the Beatles or early Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a punk velocity – into fresh and catchy pop nuggets. . . [Sleeper] reveals a markedly different approach, eschewing the roaring maelstrom of his previous work in favor of gentle psychedelic folk.”

– The New York Times’ “Snapshot”

“it’s deeper, darker and more emotional than anything the singer and guitarist has released so far. . . Clocking in at a perfectly paced 36 minutes, Sleeper is raw and sometimes frayed, but not ragged.”

– NPR Music’s “First Listen”

 

“his greatest and most radically different work yet, firmly cementing himself as a forward-thinking, artistically driven musician.” – The A.V. Club

 

“[Sleeper is] his most focused album, with every song’s tone easily flowing into the next, and it’s also one of his best.” – Pitchfork

 

“[Ty Segall’s] first full-length in nine whole months is virtually all acoustic, pushing his love of pimply Sixties squall into psychedelic folk that’s just as raw as his noise records.” – Rolling Stone

 

“Forsaking the high-energy fuzz-pop of last year’s Twins for an altogether woozier mood, Ty Segall’s only solo album release of 2013 will prompt many a moment of reflection among admirers of the thrasher end of his output.” – MOJO

 

“With its shoebox percussion and no-budget production, Sleeper is a work of desolate, cracked genius.” –Q

 

“Segall is peculiarly unstoppable. . . Quantity has, unusually, meant quality, too. . .” — Uncut
