Smote Reverser, by Oh Sees

Smote Reverser

by Oh Sees

supported by

Xtra Happy One of the strongest albums put out so far by the Oh Sees. Smote is a krauty, thrashy and at times funky blend of their signature garage rock styling. While I feel 'Anthemic Aggresor' can drag a tad, the rest more than makes up for it, with tracks like the banger opening 'Sentient Oona', the driving 'C', and the drowned out psychy 'Flies Bump Up [...]'

Also, whoever runs the Bandcamp page included Overthrown and C twice at the end of the tracklist by accident (What is the point of it? Aaah!) Favorite track: C.

Marcin Wielewski The diversity of styles, instruments and genres is out of scale. Favorite track: Overthrown.

hombal many styles blend together in a tasty dish... J.D. is a genius... simply love his style....recommended especially for those who like F.Zappa Favorite track: C.

Murdered Flayed Sucking Disease What is the point of it all? Flee Bleed Fucking bled clean What is the point of it all? Dead Hard Flecked with disease What is the point of it all? Running Stabbed Innocent lives What is the point of it all? Ceiling Walls Freckled with blood What is the point of it all? Curdled Rot Brindled with shot What is the point of it all? Please Please Down on your knees What is the point of it all? Barren Burned Vacant of trees This is the end of it all

about

Crack the coffers, Oh Sees have spawned another frothy LP of head-destroying psych epics to grok and rock out to. You’ll notice the fresh dollop of organ and keyboard prowess courtesy of "Memory of a Cut Off Head” alum and noted key-stabber Tom Dolas...the Quattrone/Rincon drum-corps polyrhythmic pulse continues to astound and pound in equal measure, buttressed by the nimble fingered bottom end of Sir Tim Hellman the Brave and the shred-heaven fret frying of John Dwyer, whilst Lady Brigid Dawson again graces the wax with her harmonic gifts. Aside from the familiar psych-scorch familiar to soggy pit denizens the world over, there’s a fresh heavy-prog vibe that fits like a worn-in jean jacket comfortably among hairpin metal turns and the familiar but no less horns-worthy guitar fireworks Dwyer’s made his calling card. Perhaps the most notable thing about Smote Reverser is the artistic restlessness underpinning its flights of fancy. Dwyer refuses to repeat himself and for someone with such a hectic release schedule, that stretching of aesthetic borders and omnivorous appetite seems all the more superhuman. Hope you’re hungry as these platters are piled high

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

This is simply one of my favorite albums of all time. An intense journey, so much genius energy flying off of this album it's hard to process sometimes. 11/10. LordRockinghamm

Reflections is my fav, this is a very close second. Ive always loved Lore for its “grit” and in your face “live” sound compared to later releases. I believe Elder currently stands alone in this kind of music. The title track is an Elder classic! Sam Damon
