Editorial Reviews

Thee Oh Sees (OCS) began as songwriter / singer / guitarist John Dwyer's outlet for the experimental instrumentals he was producing in his home studio. Dwyer, who hails from Providence, RI, has been active on the San Francisco indie scene since the late '90s, working with The Coachwhips, Hospitals, Pink & Brown, Yikes, Dig That Body Up It's Alive, and Swords & Sandals, among others. 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 & 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. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

Thee Oh Sees are worth spending a night in. If the entire OCS (pre-Oh Sees) catalog was a perfect soundtrack to a lazy/hazy/crazy day, the move to the Oh Sees moniker transitions from day to night... only both sides of the equation somehow manage to retain the magical glow of the witching hour, all psychedelic sunsets and ghostly breezes intact. It's a nearly perfect transition. They have this uncanny knack for creating music that is so much more than the sum of its parts and influences, so for goodness sake don't buy into that ridiculous genre game. It's as if the chill that travels down one's spine when listening to really amazing music were handed a guitar and some drums with which to make music of its own. In other words, Thee Oh Sees are sorcerers. Let them ensorcell you. (Hint: this is perhaps best accomplished by experiencing them live.)

How is this the first review for this album. Boy/girl vocals, reverb and more reverb. Simply excellent. Just buy it.
