intro
Catchy latest single taken from his excellent album 'Twins' from Californian singer-songwriter, Ty Segall
The catchiest tune off last year's winning LP 'Twins' gets a release as a single, and therefore it's well about time to congregate and manoeuvre this summer smash song to its truly deserved number one spot on Billboard, ASAP. Buy until you die. For free, on the flip, you get the extra of Ty Segall performing a gentle little ballad 'For Those Who Weep', which is very much in the vein of Chris Bell of Big Star. It seems as if Drag City hold the rights to Ty's brightest ideas. Whilst we're on A-sides, let's discuss how come that a song of such stature is not on your dial all of the time. 'Would You Be My Love?' remains one of the finest tunes recorded in recent history. A BBC Radio1 A-List top contender.
