    With Sleeper Segall sounds almost, well, mature, and emotionally invested.

    At its weakest, Sleeper can come across like Beady Eye--and if there weren’t a US voice behind it, it might well be laughed out of town. However, Segall’s motives seem authentic.

    His first full-length in nine whole months is virtually all acoustic, pushing his love of pimply Sixties squall into psychedelic folk that's just as raw as his noise records.

    Perhaps its issue is that it’s quite hard to feel anything throughout its running time beyond a sense of general malaise.

    It's no straightforward confessional, but a paradigm shift from squalling electricity to intensity of a different sort.

    Sleeper will probably be viewed in hindsight as "That kinda boring Ty Segall album."

Actually, I like this more than Coldplay (obviously) but even more too of some mellow Radiohead songs it really IS that good! Take the advice of Mojo, Pitchfork and Paste Magazines and get this album. This album does not dissapoint, and it's a much needed departure to all of the great loud music he's been cranking out over the last couple of years. A must for Ty Segall fans, for sure!… Full Review »
