2. Ty Segall - Goodbye Bread

This is an artist that I sort-of started listening to this year. Let me explain. During CMJ 2010, I caught one of his shows, and really enjoyed it, but didn’t go looking for his music afterwards. This summer, I heard a song from this record on The Best Show, and immediately loved it’s fuzzy garage sound. I would listen to this album at work while I edited videos. In September, I got to see him slay a packed house in New York, where he played an incredibly energetic show, culminating in everyone storming the stage, playing their instruments, while Mr. Segall crowd-surfed away. The new heir of the garage punk scene has arrived ladies & gentlemen, Ty Segall has taken the crown.
