thee oh sees

spectacular garage psych from John Dwyer’s Thee Oh Sees - the first studio recordings to capture the muscular rhythm section of twin drummers Ryan Moutinho and Dan Rincon with ringer bassist Tim Hellman cracking spines.

The groove and bludgeon one has come to expect from the band’s live shows is captured seamlessly here - they go from zero to headsplitter, and on the rare occasions they do let up on the gas a bit, you’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, spiralling skywards, and diving into the emerald depths so quick your guts tingle. "demonic dance and grotesque freakbeat from thrilling west coast psych goblins." - 9/10 uncut
