Thee Oh Sees – Carrion Crawler / Dream (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John 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. The pairing of two distinct recording sessions into one LP suits a band that never sat still long enough for a single document to define them.
Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from the California-based Alt-Rock outfit led by John Dwyer. What's the first thing you think of when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, melody-maiming Dwyer careening across your cranium, rounded out by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like it's a nail in the coffin of what you 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 to pin down since Dwyer launched the project in the late '90s. That restlessness extends to everything from the towering, thirteen-minute title track of 2010's Warm Slime LP to the mercurial moods of 2008's the Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In.
