Prolific fuzz-rock youngster Ty Segall's new album, 'Goodbye Bread,' drops today on Drag City, and while it retains his '60s garage-punk leanings, he's dared to slow down the tempo and take a stab at writing more defined lyrics. On the phone while driving near L.A. last week, Segall spoke to Spinner to explain some of his "freakout"-inspired new songs, the evils of the Internet and why he'd rather be a guest on a booze cruise than a performer.

'Goodbye Bread' sounds a little more down-tempo than what we're used to from you?

It's definitely more groove-based.

Some reviews have pointed out a Troggs influence to your tunes.

Sure, I love the Troggs. 'Wild Thing' -- that whole record's a classic.
