Ty Segall (born June 8, 1987) is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for his prolific solo career, during which he has released eight studio albums. Segall is also a member of the bands, Fuzz, Broken Bat and GØGGS.

During live performances, Segall is often accompanied by his backing band, the Ty Segall Band, consisting of Mikal Cronin (bass), Charles Moothart (guitar) and Emily Rose Epstein (drums).

Segall’s music often combines elements of different genres, such as garage rock, punk rock, psychedelic rock, noise rock, glam rock, as well as heavy metal and classic rock. Segall has stated in interviews that his favorite band of all time is Hawkwind. A big influence on Ty Segall’s early career is glam rock acts such as David Bowie and Marc Bolan as well as heavy rock and punk bands such as Black Sabbath, Kiss, The Stooges, and Black Flag (especially in Ty Segall Band).

A delirious, deranged and downright sketchy trip through the glass darkly of LA’s glittery facade, Emotional Mugger, the first new Ty Segall album since summer 2014, tumbles with bite-size bangers in between funk ‘n’ smut jams. Visceral, incisive and even FUN, Emotional Mugger finds Ty exploring a new palette of exploding studio fry-jinks. Like going to the candy stand to demand fistfuls of bulk candy – feels so wrong, yet so right! Who knows what they put in that stuff – ooey-gooey vocals, sour gummy guitars, rock candy noise, melted baby doll heads, ecstatic revelry dug deep within the darkness of modern existence?!
