Manipulator is one of the year’s very finest rock records, which is a nice thing to be able to say about a record just about to break into the American Top 40! True fact dat. The songs, the sounds, the singing, "The Singer," - the whole conception! Really though - Manipulator is just getting rolling. Release week was highlighted by four nights of sold-out madness at the epicenter of Ty's LA stomping ground, The Echo - and now the Manipulator band is rocket-riding its way to a town near you! But wait, there's way more Manipulating to be had:

When it comes to laying out the entertainment table, the Segall lad is a generous and dudely host... in addition to making this potent new album for you to rock on repeat while you wait for the band’s arrival (Manipulator!), he also lined up some talented fuckers to make a video for you to maintain your stimulation through up and down moments alike! Yep, it’s time to do some manipulating of your own, people. Dive into the awesome “Manipulator” video, directed by Matt Yoka, a creative force who’s worked closely with Ty on multiple videos over the last several years. One glimpse or three clicks in, and it’s easy to see this man knows his subject. To get the full effect, make sure to click around the interactive version, coded/designed by Simon Wiscombe, and also watch the Director's Playthrough (below). Then, head over to The New York Times’ T Magazine for an exclusive look at the manipulations behind the scenes. They make it seem so simply complex! But it's not just their way, it's the Ty Segall way.
