Last May, Ty Segall released Possession, a sophisticated set of psychedelic bubblegum that featured a string section, saxophone, and surprisingly sweet melodies. "Live" "at" "the" "BBC," taped about a decade ago, may take recent fans of the L.A.-based garage rocker by surprise. Now in his late 30s, Segall's already released 17 solo albums. The prolific songwriter has a knack for abrupt swings, so no one should be too shocked.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Murahd Shawki first rose to prominence after his taping with Don't Tell Comedy Dirty Little Immigrant Boy went viral, with clips garnering tens of millions of views across social media and YouTube. After performing all over the country, the UK and Europe, and opening for the likes of Bassem Youssef, Kyle Kinane, Morgan Jay and more, Murahd is finally recording his first full special.
