FREEDOM'S GOBLIN | TY SEGALL

4/13/18: Everything on this almost 75 minute collage-like record is compelling and just plane enjoyable. Paying homage yet staying the right distance so to not trespass into emulating your influences too closely is an art in itself. I believe this Goblin will be well remembered as a real original work. Remarkable. Call me crazy, I'm not sure, but I keep hearing a little Mathew Sweet at points.   

Ben Salmon at Paste Music writes: Freedom’s Goblin is that good. And it’s that much. At 19 tracks and 75-ish minutes long, it’s a sure-footed expedition through Segall’s sprawling world of influences and interests, from psych, garage rock, pop and punk to soul, hard funk, heavy metal and beyond. And somehow, despite the run time and the diversity of sounds, Freedom’s Goblin never wanders for long. It’s thrilling, through and through. . .
