Ty Segall: Goodbye Bread

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Ty Segall is frequently compared with the late Jay Reatard, presumably because they both are: 1) young white males who play guitar; 2) generally (though not always accurately) associated with garage rock; 3) dudes whose first names end in “y.” But there are no echoes of Reatard’s music on Segall’s Goodbye Bread—in fact, there’s hardly a trace of any music made during Reatard’s tragically short lifetime. Segall instead takes his cues from more established dead rock stars like John Lennon and Marc Bolan of T. Rex; Segall paid tribute to the latter earlier this year with the Ty Rex covers EP, and his own originals on Goodbye Bread are nearly as indebted to the glitter-rock great.
