"So what do you expect from 'I Can't Feel It,' this here single we're ranting around? It's a fucking hit. It's the song that transports you from your dusty, dark bedroom to the fresh spring market full of new fruits and veggies. Yeah, like the first time you whiffed hot garbage this month and remembered the last summer party of 2010, the one spent sweating Sparks through the pixie-stix-encrusted butt of your jorts, soaking up rays on the sun-burnt blacktop. It's your first iced coffee of the season, spent sipping with your eye on that bro or ho you've been pining over all winter. Get it?"

"Ty Segall has his finger on it. A finger on it, digging into your vinyl, since 2008. But to get to the start, go back a little further, back to 2005 Laguna Beach -- a cell phone call from a friend who has something Ty would love to hear: live, distorted rock and roll from inside a Coachwhips practice space. Transduced through a satellite, no less. Hold up the phone. Yeah, it's 2005 and Ty's gonna move to SF. Get outta high school and move up there. Good thing too cause the Epsilons were rad but the Traditional Fools were a beer soaked painters cap drying in the sun, son. Until one day when Ty is the only Fool to show up to the show and it's one of those moments -- local history takes a turn and the world ain't gotta wait much more, now. Ty plays the show one-man-band style and goes home and plans the rest: the records you got, tunes in your head, the unpretentious display of rock wealth. The tours, the bands, the endless shows, the honorable way. Mikel Cronin, unicorn towel, Eric Bauer's recording world, more tours. Memphis magnet and home of beautiful SF -- a cheery City State of yoga and the push of Thee Oh Sees, fog and rain, two minutes in the Sic Alps, a snatch of 7"s, split 12"s, marathon recording, six shows in four days (two are free), student union and radio wavves are a scam but beaten, a sun shower of Sour Patch Kids, it's all about the Kids -- and Emily Rose, the drummer. So what do you get now? It's 2011. Ty is 23. So, do we get the comedown record? Yes and massive." -- Andrew Loog Oldham.

Title:	Spiders
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	7"
Price:	$6.00
Catalog #:	DC 505EP

"It ain't always clean. Not every time, man. Sometimes, hardly ever. Goodbye Bread is on its own level, but Ty Segall is an if-it-shines-it-shines kinda guy. And Spiders is more like downtown without the lights. The a-side creeps heavy and sounds like some Finnish funeral if it were a slow-jam on a dance floor littered with off-handed mutterings of the word 'gnarly' and everyone just a tad high but no one copping to it. Of course, that only adequately describes one of the A-side jams. Like a good friend, Spiders totally smacks both cheeks, what with being a double A-sided single and all. Per usual, the B-side -- or third spankmaster, as we're apt to call it -- is a through-the-ringer-cover (this time it's the Groundhogs) brought to new life through Ty-Fi Recording. Recorded just a few minutes ago (or months? who can tell?) with Sic Alps' Mike Donovan pushing the start and stop button on the tape machine, shit kills."
