New Tunesday: the noisy edition

San Francisco based, one-man blues robot, Ty Segall, accomplishes with 10 fingers and toes what the White Stripes and Black Keys need twice as many digits to do; crank out blistering, unapologetic, blissfully noise infested, blues stained, lo-fi rock and roll like the world is about to end any second and he’d rather be deaf then hear the apocalypse creep up from behind his drum kit. His new album “Lemons,” released on storied Memphis based label, Goner Records, whose slogan “If The Kids Don’t Hate It, It Ain’t Rock n Roll!” mirrors Ty’s music beautifully. Well I hate this as much as I hate a free food and a foot rub.”Untitled #2″ quickly moves from it’s acoustic blues beginnings with caked on layers of guitars adding speed and urgency until the whole thing feels like it’s about to spin out of control, a space where Ty does his best work.

Another early standout, “Rusted Dust” strikes a similar balance of simple strumming, and scuzzy pop to the type of tunes Nirvana wrote for Bleach.

Hit the jump for more Tunesday fun with Summer Cats and Blues Control…

If all I knew about Australia was that the Summer Cats were from there I might wonder if all Australians were as impossibly adorable as they are. Put it this way, if I walked by this Melbourne based five-piece band’s apartment and they were rehearsing the songs from their new Slumberland Records debut I might curl up in a ball outside their door and start petting myself with the soft end of my paw while stupidly grinning like I’d just been lobotomized and felt all the better for it. Listening to their addictive pop songs sprinkled with just a hint of ’60s garage edge is just like devouring a mountain of cotton candy, each enormous bite melting down into perfect sugary crystals of melody.

The opening track of Blues Control’s new record “Good Morning” is practically a sideways step into boogie rock (horn accompaniment provided by none other than Jesse Trbovich and Kurt Vile); with the proper seismic shift, it could almost be heard as an alternate reality take on “Re-make/Re-model.” It’s easily the band’s longest stomp in the forest of rock since their debut cassette, and, man, them boots leave a bruise!
