OCS : 18 Reasons to Love Your Hater to Death

by OCS

supported by

Xtra Happy 18 Reasons is about as noisy and abrasive as anything under the 'Thee Oh Sees' banner (excluding some of John's solo projects) gets, and improvisational is really the best way to describe it.

If you're in the market for droning synth and effect loops mixed with pure screeching guitar amp distortion and odd glitch/popping effects, look no further.

It's like a raging torrent to wash a shit day away, but instead of being calming, the water's screaming with you and carries rusty nails in its flow. Favorite track: Untitled 18.

Levitation Sessions II
by Osees

Vol. II of the Osees' Lev Sessions is a perfect succesor; digs more oldies out of their ever-growing backcatalog and gives them a fresh coat of paint. Fan favourite 'Tidal Wave' starts things off strong before delving into garage nostalgia with 'The Dream', 'Enemy Destruct' and 'Destroyed Fortress Reappears'. 'Web' and 'Beat Quest' are also great, and it's cute to hear 'Spider Cider' too. The Chrome covers that end things off are really cool; 'SS Cygni' is a hell of a bop to end things off. Xtra Happy

Fuzz filled, garbled, electrically-radicalized Dwyer ramblings, through the lens of 70s garage pioneers. Wild and performed amongst the dead, or at least in their meatsuit resting place. Far out Big Bizzle
