In a musical era dominated by machines...
In a musical era of machines, from producing equipment to producers who engineer the same sound over and over, Freedom's Goblin is a much needed reminder that Ty Segall is our connection to the humanistic past of rock and roll.
He seems to channel all the greats, from the brilliant simplicity of The Byrds all the way to the raw energy of Led Zeppelin. Classic rock bands knew how to masterfully mix pop songwriting within their own version of freewheeling music. Album feats like Fifth Dimension and Zeppelin's self-titled debut were void of high tech recording processes and focused on the experience of a whole, complete album. Segall carries the torch of classic rock lit by bands like these, a flame of uncontainable artistry.
