Thee Oh Sees seem to be making records quicker than i can buy 'em at the moment. Just back from my euro-travels and already Team Dwyer have managed to knock up another killer rekkid in the form of 'Dog Poison'. I guess it's best to strike while the iron is hot and Thee Oh Sees 'are so hot right now'. John Dwyer's current squeeze really is his best yet and i'm reminded of this with every fresh slab of wax that makes it's way though the doors of the Normo-power-towers. 'Dog Poison' sacrifices the old garage rock buzz in favour of the more obscure end of psychedelia that was touched upon on 'Help'. Dwyer is on a total roll creatively and the band have matured into a skilled and inventive outfit. I'm digging the strange textures and layers that are presenting themselves on these tracks, it's practically hynagogic yo! Also enjoying the continued appearance of flutes as well as the lo-fi nature of these recordings. 10 tracks of raw psychedelia out now on Captured tracks. Cheers lads.

We don’t get much from the very tasty Captrued Tracks label, we just had to get some of this one…we love Thee Oh Sees, and this is what Captured Tracks say about this number: “We are proud to put out a full-length record by the prolific Oh Sees, and boy, is this one a monster. More layered and textural than previous Oh Sees releases while keeping all the typical Dwyer punch, oomph and weirdness. 10 fantastic new songs, terrifying pencil-drawn sleeve. Our second LP release, and we couldn't be more pleased with it.” Thee Oh Sees have released some of the best records of 2009…and yep, this one adds to that list.
