The Killer @ 2:52

'Sucks Blood' acts as a half-house transitional album that serves to bridge the gap between the folk sound and early garage rock musings of 'Master's Bedroom'. It's not quite to my taste as a whole, but there's still some good to be found; 'Iceburg' is a late-stage staple of the old folk sound, 'Golden Phones' has some lovely singing saw action, and 'Ship' and the title track give me further reason to come back here at least once in a blue moon. Favorite track: Golden Phones.

about

“Following last year’s Cool Death of Island Raiders, it looks like John Dwyer and his Oh Sees outfit have adjusted to the afterlife quite well. They’ve returned undead with Sucks Blood, five albums deep and showing marked im- provement in the studio, honing in on their blend of reverb- soaked twang pop and crafting an album that finally lives up to the group’s potential.... [T]hey’ve taken this opportunity to tone it down a bit, settling into something resembling folk music for ghosts. The sounds hang in eternal limbo, kicking rocks out of relentless boredom and shuffling to guitar jangles in the corner, cobwebs overhead and a hol- low memory of life in the San Francisco sunshine.” —Dusted, 2007

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
