Via singer Ty Segall, familiarity ensues early on this power trio’s sophomore LP. In this outfit, the busy “Girlfriend” songwriter bandies his wonted six-string for a noble go on the drums. Commencing the hourlong disc is brazen seven-minute opener “Time Collapse,” its stoner psychedelia mash enduring throughout 14 tracks. Black Sabbath echoes in Segall’s vocals and guitarist Charles Moothart’s monstrous blues-doom solos, but Kyuss and the late Jay Reatard’s like-minded ethos also arise. The Californians then filter those influences through a grimy garage-rock lens. (4:30pm, Orange stage)
