It’s got that detuned harmony between both 5 and 6 string instruments that I’m such a fan of, hence my Fugazi and PQ reference. There’s nothing I respect more than a band being unapologetically stoked on themselves and what they’re doing enough to create a theme song. GOGGS have a song called GOGGS on their debut album, GOGGS. Chris Shaw with his deep register and taunting cadence dares you to talk shit and get in his face.įuzz Play Charity Event shot by Johnny Ramos It bestows upon the album the kind of charm and the street cred of a scuffed up pair of Chuck Taylor’s. The bulbous bottom end bass guitar by committee, (Segall, Moothart, Corey Hanson) contrasts the washed out, treble rich drum cymbals and hi hat which is also becoming a Ty Segall production trademark but the bass tone gives the tracks the proper amount of sludge.
It is the most prominent feature on this album and I say that in a good way. It has an “early catalog Ty Segall” tonal vibe ala Melted and Twins but it’s more abrasive and percussive. Sharp guitar tones with jagged, distorted edges and high mid range. GOGGS innovate in the increasingly nebulous punk rock genre by experimenting with and finding a unique and original guitar and production tone and organizing the bands thoughts into an appropriately confrontational demeanor.Ĭharles Moothart went vintage effect pedal shopping and created something special. When you attach the punk moniker to your music, authenticity is the single biggest pre requisite and that comes from the purity of your intentions with your music. Not like Bad Brains or Black Flag punk but it’s punk rock like Fugazi and Parquet Courts It dares you to put a label on what they do. GOGGS is being touted as “Ty’s new Punk Album” by many publicists and suits and probably just relayed simply that way by frontman, Chris Shaw in a non ambiguous and lyrical manner. Ty Segall’s new project GØGGS doesn’t feel like a side project.
