{"product_id":"thee-oh-sees-putrifiers-ii","title":"THEE OH SEES - PUTRIFIERS II - RECORD","description":"What's the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, speaker-smothering, tongue-wagging John Dwyer careening across your cranium, chased by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like it's a nail in the coffin of what one thought it meant to make 21st century rock 'n' roll? Yeah, that sounds about right. But it misses a more important point-how impossible Thee Oh Sees have been been to pin down since Dwyer launched it in the late '90s as a solo break from such sorely missed underground bands as Pink and Brown and Coachwhips. That restlessness extends to everything from the towering, thirteen-minute title track of 2010's Warm Smile LP to the mercurial moods of 2008's the Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In. And then there's the home-brewed symphonies of Castlemania and the high-wire hooks of Carrion Crawler \/ the Dream, which dropped a second drum set among sunburnt organs, dovetailing guitars and rail-jumping rhythms. If one prefers a slightly more subtle musical awakening, there's always Putrifiers II, the latest in a long line of Oh Sees albums that expands the group's sound well past your friendly neighborhood garage band. So while the space-odyssey nods of \"Wax Face\" actually sound like they're meant to melt one's ears straight off, the record's full of deviant detours, from the poison-tipped string parts and Eno-esque engineering of \"So Nice\" to the groove-locked Krautrock inclinations of \"Lupine Dominus.\" the most noticeable element may be Dwyer's melodies, however, as they reveal a softer side to his songwriting, one that makes perfect sense considering just how disparate his dust-clearing influences are. Scott Walker, the Velvet Underground, the Zombies and the experimental Japanese act Les Rallizes Denudes are but a small taste of what informed Thee Oh Sees this time around, as Dwyer returned to the multi-instrumental ways of Castlemania-full-band sessions for another record are already underway-and rounded out a fuller, drier sound with drummer \/ engineer Chris Woodhouse and special guests like Mikal Cronin (sax), Heidi Maureen Alexander (trumpet, vocals) and K Dylan Edrich (viola).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Wax Face \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Hang a Picture \u003cbr\u003e1.3 So Nice \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Cloud #1 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Flood's New Light \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Putrifiers II \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Will We Be Scared? \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Lupine Dominus \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Goodnight Baby \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Wicked Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the Red Records","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53466465894739,"sku":"IRED235.1","price":3.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/2033317-252869.jpg?v=1776064135","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/thee-oh-sees-putrifiers-ii","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
