Chad Ubovich has plenty of experience playing guitar and bass behind both psych rock gods Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin. Between tours with them, he spent his time recording his own crunchy fuzz as Chad and the Meatbodies. Now he’s shortened the name, written up 12 tracks, and teamed up with Cory Hanson of Wand and Erik Jimenez of Together Pangea to create a heavy debut, their self-titled album out October 14 via In The Red.
“Disorder” sees the Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin members doing what they do best: thrashing. Every power chord riff goes hand-in-hand with crazy antics and summer garage rock straight from the garage. As they all join together in singing a long stream of “Oohs” at the end, we get the feeling summer never really ended after all — at least if you’re from California.

I like Ty Segall as much as the next guy, but calling him a “psych rock god” is a bit of a stretch while Roky Erickson still walks among us zombies.
