On his third LP of 2012, the garage-rock prodigy and burgeoning cult hero rearranges Nuggets and Nirvana echoes into moderately memorable tunes with scant help from other musicians. He obscures weedily muffled lyric snatches under waterlogged guitar fuzz that builds into a thick wash and varies the formula with hippie-commune harmonies, space-alien dirges, acid-folk jangles – all with a precision that belies his surface amateurism.

Twins is Segall's third LP of 2012, and stands at a crossroads somewhere between all his records to date. There are ballads, searing garage punk, sentimental love songs, two-minute bursts rubbing up next to longer cuts; all executed with faster tempos, thicker fuzz, and more power. Twins makes a great case for naming Segall as San Francisco's garage laureate.
