Cat: DC 600. Rel: 25 Aug 14
Indie
The almost indecently prolific Ty Segall has hammered out a total of 24 albums in his various guises since 2008, including eight of this own, but such are the radiant charms of Manipulator that it would seem this is the point he volleys forth from cult status to the realm of era-straddling, guitar-swinging rock god in the old-fashioned yet twenty-first century tradition of Jack White or Anton Newcombe. For although all of the uniformly zesty and infectious ditties that make up 'Manipulator' sound spookily beamed in from the '70s, forming a glorious barrage of licentious glam stomp, garage freakout, Stonesy psych swagger and interstellar balladry, the coherence and charisma of this album make time travel seem like an extremely attractive option.
