The ten-plus-minute jazz-metal freakout jam "Warm Hands (Freedom Returned)" helps out in that regard too, and really spotlights the "full band in the studio" nature of the record. Unlike many Segall albums that can seem a little one-dimensional, these songs make the album feel very rich and diverse. Tracks like the loping "Talkin'," the sweet-as-sugar "Orange Color Queen," and the baroque "Papers" all show off a softer side of Segall, and much of that is likely down to Kelly's presence. The addition of Kelly provides an extra jolt of fiery guitar work on the screaming, metallic rockers like "Break a Guitar" and "Freedom," as well as some lovely harmony vocals and jangle on the songs that owe much to the folk-rock end of the garage spectrum. Where that album had featured Segall mostly alone in the studio bashing through a rousing batch of twitchy, synth-blasted songs, for Ty Segall he gathered up members of his live band, including Mikal Cronin, and added the Cairo Gang's Emmett Kelly on guitar before hitting the studio to record in full-band format.
It seemed like 2016's Emotional Mugger had barely stopped spinning before he had another record ready and on the shelves. Anyone following the career of Ty Segall knows he likes to work fast and he's super-prolific, cranking out album after album of blown-out noise and scuzzy garage rock chunks.
