Ty-Rex

"'Ty Rex' is a set of Bolan covers by Segall that brings together two out-of-print Record Store Day releases, a 12-inch from 2011 and a seven-inch from 2013, with the addition of a previously unreleased take on '20th Century Boy' - a gritty rendition that darts along with hardcore intensity. The collection mixes the psychedelic folk era of Tyrannosaurus Rex with the electrified sound of T. Rex post-1970 but without any of its sheen. This is lo-fi, loose and bubbling with a first-take immediacy".

"In 2011, Segall paid homage to T. Rex with the EP Ty-Rex, in which he served up scrappy, lo-fi versions of tunes from the T. Rex back catalog that ran Bolan's elemental, riff-dominated melodies through Segall's buzzy guitar style and sweetly sneering vocals. A playful and entertaining gesture from one musician to a fallen hero".
