    This is a superb, must-have album that places Ty Segall firmly at the centre of the garage scene and continues his extraordinary evolution as a multi-faceted, multi-talented musician.

    It has the reckless spirit of a record that hasn't been over-analysed, but with an intense flurry of ideas from someone in the absolute prime of their creativity.

    To have a release that's altogether thrashing, infectious and emotional achieves a depth that the slew of garage rock revivalists today fail to encapsulate.

    Twins shows Segall again tapping into our musical pleasure centers with its spotless hooks, grimy guitars and unhinged sing-alongs--it's primal and timeless, and it's as Neanderthal as it is sophisticated.

    The music on Twins is more of the fantastically great quality we've come to expect.

    It's the best album of its kind to come out this year and, perhaps even more significantly, Segall's best work to date.

    It is strange album, and there is beauty in this strangeness. In fact, that sound won't carry us away in some outer space, but at the same time, this is an album that creates a wonderful atmosphere and allows us to go in there and take perhaps the most comfortable place. Every song which I heard was pretty simple, but it was just the first impression. After some time your ears will find something very interesting and fascinating, something that would never ever let you forget about what you heard.… Full Review »

    A lot of this music reminds me of the psychedelic punk 60s band Big Brother and the Holding Co. They added Janis Joplin to the band to do vocals, and she had her work cut out for her. I love this album. So refreshing, invigorating and highly recommended.… Full Review »
