He does not have musical boundaries but always has the ability to make an album cohesive. It is an instantly memorable garage banger that should be out of place, but it highlights why Segall is such a compelling indie artist. When Segall spells out “G.O.O.D.N.I.T.E.” there is a little bit of The Shining’s Jack Nicholson hiding behind the door and its fantastic! This slight edge is around every corner, and it is unleased when the electric guitar comes out during the title track. On the short opening track, “Good Morning,” Ty sets the stage for the record as he sings “We can stay inside / The world is where we both lay.” It sums up the times for sure but the next track “Cement,” turns the gears a bit more into the overall psych folk delivery of the album that is both intense and a little unhinged. He also harnesses his lash out guitar wizardry here and lets it out in small doses which once again offers the listener something new. What is different now in 2022, is that Ty feels completely at ease with this album and approach. It also shouldn’t surprise you that “Hello, Hi” is more of an acoustic affair as Ty has changed it up from his garage rock ways several times before, as it was the dominant approach on Goodbye Bread (2011) and Sleeper (2013).
In fact, it would have been surprising if he didn’t. It shouldn’t really be a surprise that during the now called “isolation months of 2020,” Ty Segall recorded an album.
