Ty Segall Covers T. Rex and I Applaud the Glam Results


Ty Segall, scuzzed-out garage rocker. Marc Bolan and T. Rex, glam jammers. While the combination isn't too obvious, these two go together like peanut butter and honey (I was never a big jelly fan).

Segall recently put out a six-track EP of T. Rex covers slyly titled Ty Rex--see what he did there? The lo-fi aesthetic suits Bolan's songs well, but you'd already know it if you listened to Smith Westerns' first LP or Burnt Ones. Regardless, Segall's shaggy covers tow that must-hear line: conventional enough to warrant a curios listen, convincing enough to sound original.
