An Odd Entrances, by Thee Oh Sees

An Odd Entrances

by Thee Oh Sees

supported by

Xtra Happy If you feel the need for a slower-paced wind-down from the fast energy of "A Weird Exits"' 'Plastic Plant' and 'Dead Man's Gun', well You Will Find It Here on the accompanying "An Odd Entrances".

'Unwrap The Fiend (Part I)' has a great fat low groove to it, and 'Nervous Tech (Nah John)' acts as a good krauty jam we've all come to expect on an Oh Sees album to end things on.

Also, 'The Poem' is a lovely pre-cursor to what would come upon the return of OCS with 2017's "Memory Of A Cut Off Head" Favorite track: The Poem.

patches Was introduced to thee oh sees with a desire for whiplash. This is the opposite. I love it Favorite track: Jammed Exit.

adamdugas I love most of their output but this really is very ear worm, that's a genre now.

about

From the same misty mountain top tape spool as August’s “A Weird Exits”, Thee Oh Sees bring us a companion LP titled “An Odd Entrances". Delving more towards the contemplative side than the face-skinning aspects of "A Weird Exits", "An Odd Entrances" is a cosmic exercise en plein aire with Dwyer and co double drum shuffling, lounging with cellos, following a flute around the groove, and spooling a few Grimm-dark lullabies along the way. Lurking in the grass are a snake or two, like the celestial facing instrumental buzz of Unwrap The Fiend Pt. 1…but for the most part this is a relatively hushed affair, a morning rather than evening listen perhaps.

about

Osees Los Angeles, California

Psych-punk psychic warrior, ear worm-farmer, and possessor of many stamped passport pages John Dwyer does not let up. His group Oh Sees (aka Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) have transmogrified to fit many a moment - from hushed druggy folk to groovy demonic pop chants to science fictional krautrock expanse and beyond - to suit his omnivorous whims. ... more
