GØGGS “She Got Harder” 2016. In the Red Records. Garage punk “supergroup” composed of Ty Segall, Chris Shaw (Ex-Cult) and Charles Moothart (Fuzz). Their debut 7″ single is fuzzy, fast and ass-shakey. Ty has had about a million side-projects over the years but according to the band’s Discog bio “This is not a side-project, it is a necessity. GØGGS is three heads, one spine, circling the drain of the wasteland known as mother earth….The three of us have been friends for years at this point, crashing at each others houses and riffling through each others record collections after a night of performing, partying, or both…Ty and I decided we were going to start a band together when Ex-Cult opened for his band on the Slaughterhouse tour in 2013. A couple years later when the plans were solidified, it only made sense that thrash master Charles Moothart should get in on the experience.” (Shaw)

The b-side is an Iggy Pop cover, “Billy is a Runaway.” It’s even fuzzier (with some truly signature Segall buzz) accented with saxophone (played by Zumi Oneiro) and an intentionally off-kilter rhythm section, making it a wonky cacophony of weirdness. It’s pretty great.
