deathtokoalas
see, this is what happens when your ego eats your brain.

ty segall is a shitty drummer, and most of his recordings are shit for it. it's not as simple as overdubbing a better player, it has to do with the songwriting. when you have to contain your ideas in such a simplistic package, the result is simplistic writing.

and, it's not like he can fall back on the format entirely, either. there's been plenty of two-person acts with less than brilliant drummers and front-people able to compensate.

but, in segall's case, the music is being significantly restricted by his inability to competently produce a workable rhythm section. if he'd just get a drummer already, it would open up a ton of space for him to breathe and write in, and it may allow him to move beyond this simplistic stupidity into something that is more interesting.


his ego won't allow for that. and he'll never reach his potential.
