Floating Coffin (2025 Repress) (Vinyl) - By:Thee Oh Sees - Model Number: DG004LP

Description

We all know the type: prolific bands that commit every loose thought, stray idea and 90-second song fragment to tape. Bands that pay no attention to little inconveniences like release cycles or self-editing, and instead decide that quantity equals quality, creating a discography more labyrinthine, imposing and”ultimately”exhausting than the cast of creatures in a sci-fi novel. Here is why none of that applies to THEE OH SEES. Because each of the dozen-plus albums they™ve released since 2004 possesses a distinct personality and represents a different point along the path of JOHN DWYER™s slow transformation from auteur of woozy, bare-bones four-track psychedelia to goggle-eyed garage rock marauder backed at long last by a band that both shares and stokes his singular vision. Because drop a needle on any record and”to their great credit”it takes several songs before you™re convinced it™s Thee Oh Sees. The seasick hundred-bottles-of-rum shanty What the Driven Drink, from 2007™s delirious Sucks Blood exists in a different galaxy than the rollercoastering Chem-Farmer from last year™s Carrion Crawler / The Dream; the doomy doo-wop of Blood on the Deck hardly seems like the product of the same band that delivered the yelping Ruby Go Home in 2009.
