He formed OCS (which is an acronym for Orinoka Crash Suite, Orange County Sound, or whatever Dwyer decided on any given day) to release a string of soundscapes and moody pieces that were decidedly lower key than his previous projects. In time, OCS morphed into an actual band, working under a flurry of names (most notably the Oh Sees or the Ohsees) and eventually settling on Thee Oh Sees. Sounding a bit like the Mamas \u0026amp; the Papas run through a seriously bent garage blender, this line-up features Dwyer on guitar and vocals, Brigid Dawson on vocals and tambourine, Petey Dammit on bass, and Mike Shoun on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Block Of Ice\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Visit Colonel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Grease 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Ghost In The Trees\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Two Drummers Disappear\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Graveyard Drug Party\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. The Master's Bedroom (Is Worth Spending A Night In)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Grease\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Adult Acid\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The Coconut\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Maria Stacks\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Poison Finger\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. You Will See This Dog Before You Die\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 759718518719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e In The Red Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19.10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600413175963,"sku":"292132","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-thee-oh-sees-master-s-bedroom-is-worth-spending-a-night-in-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779292991"},{"product_id":"thee-oh-sees-warm-slime-cd","title":"Thee Oh Sees – Warm Slime (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 2010, John Dwyer was releasing records at a pace that made even the most dedicated collectors scramble to keep up, and Warm Slime stands as one of the clearest arguments for why that output deserved attention.

The result pushes the familiar polarities of the group farther 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 mellotronic, far-out pop with delicacy and grace.

The groove and bludgeon one has come to expect from the band's live shows is captured seamlessly here-they go from zero to head-splitter, 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, 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 (including a side-D etching by airbrush-van-art maestro Robert Beatty) and packed in vape-proof goatskin, it's a beast and, come August 12th, it can be yours should you so choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Dead Man’s Gun (3:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Ticklish Warrior (3:07)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Jammed Entrance (5:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Plastic Plant (5:40)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Gelatinous Cube (3:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Unwrap The Fiend Pt. 2 (4:27)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Crawl Out Into The Fall Out (7:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Axis (6:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 814867021814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castleface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.12.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600452333723,"sku":"510262","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-thee-oh-sees-weird-exits-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779291873"},{"product_id":"thee-oh-sees-putrifiers-ii-lp-vinyl","title":"Thee Oh Sees – Putrifiers II (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProlific doesn't begin to cover it. By the time Putrifiers II landed in 2012, John Dwyer had already released a staggering run of records that kept San Francisco's underground scene in a perpetual state of whiplash, yet this one found the band threading psych-damaged hooks through surprisingly melodic territory without losing any of the garage-floor grit that made them essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, speaker-smothering, tongue-wagging John Dwyer careening across your cranium, chased by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like it's a nail in the coffin of what one thought it meant to make 21st century rock 'n' roll? Yeah, that sounds about right. But it misses a more important point-how impossible Thee Oh Sees have been been to pin down since Dwyer launched it in the late '90s as a solo break from such sorely missed underground bands as Pink and Brown and Coachwhips. That restlessness extends to everything from the towering, thirteen-minute title track of 2010's Warm Smile LP to the mercurial moods of 2008's the Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In. And then there's the home-brewed symphonies of Castlemania and the high-wire hooks of Carrion Crawler \/ the Dream, which dropped a second drum set among sunburnt organs, dovetailing guitars and rail-jumping rhythms. If one prefers a slightly more subtle musical awakening, there's always Putrifiers II, the latest in a long line of Oh Sees albums that expands the group's sound well past your friendly neighborhood garage band. So while the space-odyssey nods of \"Wax Face\" actually sound like they're meant to melt one's ears straight off, the record's full of deviant detours, from the poison-tipped string parts and Eno-esque engineering of \"So Nice\" to the groove-locked Krautrock inclinations of \"Lupine Dominus.\" the most noticeable element may be Dwyer's melodies, however, as they reveal a softer side to his songwriting, one that makes perfect sense considering just how disparate his dust-clearing influences are. Scott Walker, the Velvet Underground, the Zombies and the experimental Japanese act Les Rallizes Denudes are but a small taste of what informed Thee Oh Sees this time around, as Dwyer returned to the multi-instrumental ways of Castlemania-full-band sessions for another record are already underway-and rounded out a fuller, drier sound with drummer \/ engineer Chris Woodhouse and special guests like Mikal Cronin (sax), Heidi Maureen Alexander (trumpet, vocals) and K Dylan Edrich (viola).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Wax Face\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Hang A Picture\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. So Nice\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Cloud #1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Flood's New Light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Putrifiers II\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Will We Be Scared?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Lupine Dominus\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Goodnight Baby\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Wicked Park\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 759718523515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e In The Red Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.11.12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600460066971,"sku":"500163","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-thee-oh-sees-putrifiers-ii-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779292583"},{"product_id":"thee-oh-sees-carrion-crawler-dream-lp-vinyl","title":"Thee Oh Sees – Carrion Crawler \/ Dream (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Dwyer had already released a staggering number of records by 2011, but Carrion Crawler \/ Dream caught the San Francisco project at a particular peak of momentum, balancing the raw garage energy of their live show against some of Dwyer's most immediate melodic instincts.

Bands that pay no attention to little inconveniences like \"release cycles\" or \"self-editing,\" and instead decide that quantity equals quality, creating a discography more labyrinthine, imposing and-ultimately-exhausting than the cast of creatures in a sci-fi novel. Here is why none of that applies to THEE OH SEES. Because each of the dozen-plus albums they've released since 2004 possesses a distinct personality and represents a different point along the path of JOHN DWYER's slow transformation from auteur of woozy, bare-bones four-track psychedelia to goggle-eyed garage rock marauder backed at long last by a band that both shares and stokes his singular vision. Because drop a needle on any record and-to their great credit-it takes several songs before you're convinced it's Thee Oh Sees. The seasick hundred-bottles-of-rum shanty \"What the Driven Drink,\" from 2007's delirious Sucks Blood exists in a different galaxy than the rollercoastering \"Chem-Farmer\" from last year's Carrion Crawler \/ The Dream; the doomy doo-wop of \"Blood on the Deck\" hardly seems like the product of the same band that delivered the yelping \"Ruby Go Home\" in 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I Come From The Mountain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Toe Cutter \/ Thumb Buster\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Floating Coffin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. No Spell\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Strawberries 1+2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Maze Fancier\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Night Crawler\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sweets Helicopter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Tunnel Time\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Minotaur\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 657628452409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deathgod Corp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.18.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600477008027,"sku":"682472","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-thee-oh-sees-floating-coffin-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779293031"}],"url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/collections\/thee-oh-sees-vinyl-cds.oembed","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
