The isolation suits the songs: you’re only ever as “at home” as you are with yourself in the mirror. “Hello, Hi” is expansively rendered by Ty, mostly by himself, at home. Dark paths turn off abruptly into absurd darkness, then wind back through the broken rocks, ecstatic again. Like rain washing away yesterday, “Hello, Hi” pushes open the door, inviting the new to pass through all the old shades and degrees of hot and cold. “Hello, Hi”: welcome in to a new room to play the styles and feels that lie under Ty Segall’s fingers, easing fresh air into acoustic space with an assortment of love songs flowering in righteous unconsciousness.

Segall would sign with Drag City and further raise his profile with a string of critically acclaimed albums including Goodbye Bread, Twins and the acoustic-focused Sleeper.
