Album / Artist: Segall Smeagol / Ty Segall Label: Bandcamp https://tysegall.bandcamp.com/album/segall-smeagol Release Date: 3/31/2020 Review Date: 4/5/2020 Reviewer: DJ Stace General Comments / Release Notes: Stellar covers of most of Harry Nilsson's 1971 album, "Nilsson Schmilsson." Release Note: "I wanted to cover Nilsson Schmilsson for years, so I used the opportunity of being at home to cover my favorite cuts from the record. So here it is free on Bandcamp - "Segall Smeagol" LOVE TO EVERYONE" FCCs: None RIYL: Ty Segall, Harry Nilsson, Tarantino soundtracks Play: All, favs: 1,4 Rated with ***** Tracks: 1. ***** Coconut (03:31) - Midtempo Kick drum thumping, buzzing, growling and sinister version of the whimsical classic. Off-kilter, discomforting and perfectly dystopian. Play it. 2. **** Gotta Get Up (02:30) - Uptemp, Droning and (of course) buzzy. Something Sgt. Pepperish about this one. Builds to big crashing Ty Segall crescendoiness. 3. **** Drivin Along (02:29) - midtempo, slinky, funky. Great grooves. 4. ***** Early in the Morning (02:45) - slow, plodding and submerged in cigarettes and booze. Sickly, monotonic and robotic vocals. Very cool. 5. **** The Moonbeam Song (03:03) - Cool a capella with a dozen Ty voices, a la Freddy Mercury. Complex, soothing and pleasant. More Sgt Pepper, somehow. 6. **** Jump into the Fire (06:30) - Hammering it all home for the finale with big, overdriven fuzzed out bassline, driving uptempo dance-beat (cowbell) and echoing, chaotic, batshit crazy vocals, while remaining surprisingly faithful. Not my favorite of the record, but a likely college radio hit. | ||
