Ty Segall - Chrome

After he got done recording Possession, something he did mostly by himself, Ty Segall was ready to rock out with his bros again. He gathered his usual band -- guitarist/vocalist Emmett Kelly, bassist/vocalist Mikal Cronin, keyboardist Ben Boye, and drummer Evan Burrows -- wrote some songs, then rehearsed the stuffing out of them for a month straight. After that, they went into the studio with producer Cooper Crain, and six days later, Chrome was ready to be shipped. The album is a return to the hard and heavy style of rock & roll Segall does so well, with touches of garage rock, psychedelia, prog, and metal all jammed together and then sprinkled with Segall's knack for a catchy hook and the band's tendency to shred like nobody’s business. Great chunks of the record feature Segall and Kelly battling it out to see who can riff the hardest, solo their fiercest, and crunch the crunchiest, while the rest of the band click into place perfectly. ~Tim Sendra, all music.com
