Ty Segall Harmonizer LP

His first album in forever (two years!), Ty glides smoothly into a wild area on Harmonizer with a synthtasm of production redesign, dialing up a wealth of new guitar and keyboard settings. A seething statement of emotional austerity, Harmonizer enraptures the ear, while enabling Ty to cut through dense undergrowth, making groove moves for the body, mind and soul.

Overall, it may seem like Segall took a mad leap into the unknown with Harmonizer, one that's sure to be polarizing. Luckily for him - and anyone willing to accept change - he nails the landing without a single wobble or hop. It may be a direction he follows further, or it could be a one-off; either way, Harmonizer is an exciting and intriguing addition to his bursting-at-the-seams discography.
