Listen to Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin Member’s New Band Meatbodies

July 30th, 2014

Back when Ty Segall was touring in his new band FUZZ and Mikal Cronin made a critically-acclaimed solo debut, Chad Ubovich was playing guitar and bass behind both psych rock gods. Between tours, Ubovich spent his time recording his own crunchy fuzz as Chad and the Meatbodies. With a little help from Segall, he’s now gone on to be picked up by label In The Red and will be releasing his self-titled debut as the renamed Meatbodies.

The 12-track debut was recorded with Eric Bauer (Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, White Fence) and saw friends Cory Hanson of Wand and Erik Jimenez of Together Pangea contributing in the studio. After some mixing and riff revising, Meatbodies now have a record of controlled smashing and heavy guitar layering that makes for a truly impressive first release. As such, the album’s lead single, “Tremmors,” is a perfect indication of the band’s promising direction.
