Emerging from the distant light is the new double-LP from John Dwyer‰۪såÊThee Oh Sees‰ÛÓthe first studio recordings to capture the muscularåÊrhythm section of twin drummers Ryan Moutinho and DanåÊRincon with ringer bassist Tim Hellman cracking spines.åÊThe groove and bludgeon one has come to expect from the band‰۪såÊlive shows is captured seamlessly here‰ÛÓthey go from zero to headsplitter,åÊand on the rare occasions they do let up on the gas a bit, you‰۪reåÊtreated to some locked-in hypnotizers, too. The guitar sounds moreåÊcolossal and ethereal at the same time, riding roughshod over the vacuum-sealed rhythm section, spiraling skywards, and diving into theåÊemerald depths so quick your guts tingle. Synths, strings and smokesoakedåÊthings crawl behind the scenes to make an extra far-out partyåÊplatter, served on 45 RPM plates for most excellent listening quality.åÊWith amazing visuals (including a side-D etching by airbrush-vanartåÊmaestro Robert Beatty) and packed in vape-proof goatskin, it‰۪s aåÊbeast and, come August 12th, it can be yours should you so choose.
