Our man Dwyer explains... Hey there, human kids, Lift your face out of the feed trough and pluck that feculence from your ears. Hark! A sonar blip from beneath the pile of bodies. Boop, blip ughhh…. People churning like a boiling swamp. Man, this din is nauseating. The screen flickers for the first time this year with a transmission from two months in the future: “the internet has deemed guitar music dead and you are free to do whatever the fuck you like ….long live the new flesh!” This album is Soundcloud hip-hop reversed, a far flung nemesis of contemporary country and flaccid algorithmic pop-barf. No songs about money or love are floating in the ether. Just memories, echoes, foggy blurs Blip-blop goes the scope Heavy funk Dystopia-punk canons Lonnnnng jams Bloated solos dribbling down your caved-in chest. Human cattle like a beef avalanche, right on your burned out face hole. Spider legs fuzz crawling in your brain. Lots of curse words for your mom. You’ve gotten the over-population blues, so let’s have some art for art’s sake. What else are you gonna do? Stare at the sky? Please… 50 carbon copies of you look back at you as you walk the streets. Take a breath, you’re going to need it. Take drugs, you’re going to need those just to stand in line at the air and water reclamation center soon enough. There’s no fruit, buddy. You’re at the bleak-peak. They will squeeze you till you’re all squeezed out. For fans of fried prog burn out, squished old-school drool, double drums, lead weight bass, wizard keys (now with poison), old-ass guitar and horrible words with daft meanings. If you don’t like it then don’t listen, bub. Back to the comments section with you! Easy Over and out" - John Dwyer

Emerging from the distant light we have a new double LP from our own John Dwyer's Thee Oh Sees. The first studio recordings to capture the muscular rhythm section of double drummers Ryan Moutinho and Dan Rincon with ringer bassist Tim Hellman cracking spines, the groove and bludgeon we've come to expect from the live shows is captured seamlessly here - they go from zero to head-splitter from the get-go and on the rare occasions they do let up on the gas a bit, we're treated to some locked-in hypnotizers, too. The guitar sounds more colossal and ethereal at the same time, riding roughshod over the vacuum sealed rhythm section, spiraling skywards, and diving into the emerald depths so quick your guts tingle. Synths, strings and smoke soaked things crawl behind the scenes to make an extra far-out party platter. Served on 45 rpm plates for most excellent listening quality. With amazing visuals and a side D etching by air-brush-van-art maestro Robert Beatty…and packed in vape-proof goat skin. It’s a beast and it can be yours should you choose come August 12th.....come on now.

Thee Oh Sees just released Drop last year, and on Mar 5th, they've announced their new one. Mutilator Defeated At Last is out May 18 via Castle Face. The band's lineup on the new album is John Dwyer, Tim Hellman, Nick Murray, Chris Woodhouse, and Brigid Dawson. Woodhouse recorded and mixed the record; it was mastered by John Golden.

Our lad John P. Dwyer has been lancing eardrums with Thee Oh Sees in an ever-escalating flurry of records for the past six years. Since the release of The Master s Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In announced a new loud era (and excepting a few momentary detours into home-baked territory Dog Poison and Castlemania, for example), Dwyer and company have pum- meled a bit harder each time out, cementing their reputation as a live force to be reckoned with and leaving legions sweaty and bruised in the process. Late last year, after years of relentlessly touring the world, the word got out... Dwyer s moving to Los Angeles (fear not, still California!) and Thee Oh Sees are taking a much-needed hiatus with a shifting of gears ahead and a new album on the way. This is that album. Drop was recorded in a banana-ripening warehouse (no joke) with hair-farming studio warlock Chris Woodhouse playing drums; it s also graced with the presence of talented gurus Mi- kal Cronin, Greer McGettrick and Casafis adding horns and vocals. The result pushes the familiar polarities of the group far- ther outward than ever before. Opener Penetrating Eye might be the heaviest Oh Sees song yet, Transparent World and Put Some Reverb On My Brother foam with seasick fuzz, and yet the ballads, like the harpsichorded King s Nose and the lush and stately closer The Lens, extend their oeuvre into mello- tronic, far-out pop with delicacy and grace. This schizophrenia heralds the man and the band into an un- seen future in classic Dwyer fashion restless energy harnessed into exquisitely crafted jams, with an emphasis on the pensive and the paranoid in turns.

Thee Oh Sees的多产大家已经是有目共睹了，去年刚发行了超囧封面+超高评价的专辑《Putrifiers II》，马上一张名为《Floating Coffin》的专辑紧随其后。 这张专辑将会在今年4月通过成员John Dwyer的Castle Face Records发行，这几个怪人再次用令人瞠目的惊悚封面刷新我们乐迷们的底线了。 谈到新专辑的风格，Dwyer说“这些歌的场景设定在战火纷飞的时代，总的来说非常黑暗，也比我们之前的专辑更加重。” 另外，Thee Oh Sees也将首度来到中国，参加2013年《觉》音乐+艺术节的预热演出。 旧金山迷幻车库乐队Thee Oh Sees中国巡演 【北京】 日期：2013年2月21日，周四 时间：21:00 场地：MAO Livehouse 地址：北京东城区鼓楼东大街111号 嘉宾：The Planets 票价：60元（学生）/ 80元（现场） 【上海】 日期：2013年2月22日，周五 时间：21:00 场地：390 Live 地址：长宁区番禺路390号，近法华镇路 嘉宾：Pairs和花搅乐队 票价：60元（学生）/ 80元（现场）

2010 release from the ridiculously prolific Bay Area band. Warm Slime is guaranteed to please fans of their whacked-out Garage/Psych/Punk jams. Recorded by Sacramento sultan of sound Chris Woodhouse, Warm Slime carries on in the same tradition as the group's previous release, Help, showcasing their more electrified and rocking side, in comparison to other recent home-recorded releases. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the mind-bending title track, which clocks in at nearly 14 minutes and takes up the entirety of the album's first side. It's a Psychedelic epic of 'Inna Gadda Da Vida' proportions! John Dwyer's guitar playing is at its quadra-spazzed best here, and the vocal interplay with Brigid Dawson gives it a B-52s-at-their-least-cheesy-crossed-with-the-Troggs vibe. The results are stunning.
