Album of the Week - Thursday 1/15/15 at 6:00PM - "Manipulator" by Ty Segall

This week’s AotW will be the newest full length from Ty Segall, Manipulator.  Segall has been the most prolific artist on the scene for a while now.  He has been averaging 1-2 LP’s a year and a plethora of singles and EP’s to boot, not to mention his side projects.  He’s a drummer, guitarist, songwriter, producer and bandleader extraordinaire.  Did I mention that he’s only 27 years old?  The kicker is that his output is all high-quality stuff, and Manipulator is a 56 minute opus of amazing amalgam of fuzz, swirl, smash and howl rock-pop that wears it’s 1970’s rock, metal, punk, glam influences (T Rex, Bowie, Black Sabbath and King Crimson to name but a few) proudly.  Yes indeed, this one will stick to you like frosting to an octopus, and due to its length, we may not cover the whole thing, but we will give it our best shot.
