Ty Segall & White Fence - "I Am Not A Game"

Do people treat you as though you are a game? And do you take exception to this? You're goddamn right you take exception to this: You're no game. You're a real, living person. Go on, tell 'em. Well actually, thanks to Rock 'n' Roll you no longer have to tell them yourself. Instead, you can put on the new song by Ty Segall and White Fence and it will tell them for you. The conveniently titled "I Am Not A Game" should send the message home quite clearly. Some background on this message conveying track: it's our first taste of Hair, an eight song LP that marks the first time that the prolific Bay-area garage rocker Segall (responsible for 2011 highlight Goodbye Bread) has teamed with White Fence (the solo moniker of fellow prolific San Fran garage rocker Tim Presley, who is also a member of the the garage-soul band Darker My Love, who played with The Fall on their 2007 LP Reformation Post TLC, and who is now also a full-time member of the very excellent Austin band, The Strange Boys).  "I Am Not A Game" is our first listen to this collaboration, and it is pure ragged glory: four minutes of primal and erratic rock 'n' roll fun that is driven along by a lurching two-chord progression and a Hammond organ, and which ends in a foot-to-the-floor surge of garage-rock magnificence. The primary thing to learn from it all, don't take guff from no one. Hair will be out April 24 on Drag City.
