Ty Segall “Ty-Rex” 2011/2015. Goner Records. This EP is a lo-fi-ier homage to T. Rex/Marc Bolan; full of buzzy guitar and vocals sneered with such grit you can feel the sticky beer-drenched 70′s club floor beneath your feet, resisting the urge to rub the burn of smoke haze from your eyes, especially on covers like “Fist Heart Might Dawn Dart” and slinky glamorous “The Slider.”  Even more straight-up rock-n-rollers like “Woodland Rock” are tinged with an edge of frenetic nastiness. The 2015 re-release includes the epic T. Rex anthem “20th Century Boy,” adding in more punk aggression to the original. It also includes the two songs from his 2013 Record Store Day 7″ release Ty Rex 2: “The Motivator” – a cover so brutal and raw your fingers bleed in sympathy with how hard Segall hits his guitar strings – and “Cat Black” (”one of the last freak folk productions from T. Rex before Bolan ditched the Hobbit”).
