Ty Segall Rocks Out — Acoustic-Style, And With More Polish

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Ty Segall's latest album is Manipulator.
Denee Petracek

If there's a Mozart of garage rock, it's Ty Segall. He's put out at least a dozen albums of face-melting, critic-adored low-fi rock, in the style of bands like The Troggs or The Stooges — not to mention his work with other bands and in other styles.

But his newest album, Manipulator, is different: more produced and polished. Segall came to NPR West to talk about the album with NPR's Arun Rath — and play a few songs for us.
