The lead single and title track Hello, Hi is the album’s heaviest offering. It’s a triumphant and psychedelic moment of radical self-acceptance. If you've ever wondered how Segall might channel the early, risk-taking triumphs of Beck, much of the evidence is right here. The affecting climax of Hello, Hi comes toward the end of Looking At You, as Segall repeatedly belts, I’m looking at you for the very first time. Recalling the heavier work of his band Fuzz, "Diversion" pairs its catchiness with force engineered to blow your hair back Segall turns an unusually sweet corner with the aptly titled "Candy Sam," even employing a small children's choir to sing the chorus. "Squealer" changes fidelity midstream, while synthesized counter-melodies draw tracers around the lopsided title track, all to a mid-tempo thump that corrals the brightness of Segall's earlier works into a medicated snarl. The pop hooks, fuzz guitar and Anglicized vocals fans expect are all here, but Segall seems indifferent to his own playbook, throwing in corkscrews of weirdness like elbows to the head whenever he feels like it. But it would appear now that Segall wants to run screaming in the opposite direction, crawl directly into listener's minds and do some rewiring. that the chances of him completing a world tour just as the last word of this critique has been written remain frighteningly real. Segall's last solo album, Manipulator, showcased both polish and conceptual harmony that seemed inevitable, given the directions the garage-rock wunderkind was heading.
