Tyler Ballgame - For The First Time, Again - VINYL LP

After crucial stints in Silver Jews and Lambchop, William Tyler emergedwith a string of inquisitive albums that paired his country rearing andclassical enthusiasm with his ardor for experimentation and fieldrecordings. His productive enclave of instrumental music has not onlyushered in new sounds, but also critical new voices. No other soloAmerican guitarist this century has impacted that fecund scene quitelike him. And on the brilliant, bracing Time Indefinite, Tyler's first soloalbum in five years, he steps at last into the widening gyre he helpedcreate. The guitar is the starting point for an album that will make youreconsider not only Tyler but also the possibilities of an entire field. Avortex of noise and harmony, ghosts and dreams, anguish and hope, itis not just a great guitar record. It is a stunning record by a greatguitarist, a masterpiece of our collectively anxious time.In early 2020, as the world teetered at the edge of unrests stillunimagined, Tyler left LA for Nashville, where he'd lived most of his life.Most of his gear and all of his records stayed, awaiting a presumedrapid return. It, of course, wasn't. So as Tyler dealt with the depression,nerves, and questions of those endlessly tense times, he beganrecording ideas with his phone and a cassette deck, resigning himself tothe distortion inherent in those devices. Tyler was talking with KieranHebden about making a record together, and some of these bits felt liketest cases. As that collaboration crept in other directions Tyler magpiedother sounds. He asked longtime friend, producer Jake Davis, to helpstitch them together, opting to embrace the hiss and wobble and tounintentionally make a record that reflected those times andthese-uneasy, damaged, honest.A seesaw of struggle and survival defines these songs, a map ofanguish and belief and the trails that link them.

Vinyl LP pressing. InchOur salivating makes it all taste worse,Inch croons Ty Segall in InchTaste,Inch the lead single from his latest album, First Taste. He's talking about us how we're the masters of our own destiny, tellers of our own prophecy, makers of our own sickened choices. It's a warning, but this time, the finger is pointing back at him too. He's one with us. First Taste is an introspective set for Segall after the extroversions of 2018's Freedom's Goblin. Lines of struggle wind through the songs as Segall reflects on family, re-encountering pasts, anticipating futures. He skates through oneness, self-esteem, the parents - all the joys of a rain-filled childhood - while reaching outward in the here and now, feeling for a shared pulse. Meanwhile, the production is far out! Segall's creative juices suggested some radical (in the older sense of the word) new instrumental territories koto, recorder, bouzouki, harmoniser, mandolin, saxophones and brass, voices, and a sprinkling of keys. Segall occupies the drum set whenever it's heard on the left speaker, while Charles Moothart plays the kit on the right side. Segall's vocal prowess sits in fresh relief against his mutant orchestra, spooling tension through some of his most patient songs, his feral scream in complete control. Album Tracks 1. Taste 2.
