Oh Sees, Thee – Floating Coffin Vinyl LP Record

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 andultimatelyexhausting 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 theyve released since 2004 possesses a distinct personality and represents a different point along the path of JOHN DWYERs 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 andto their great creditit takes several songs before youre convinced its Thee Oh Sees. The seasick hundred-bottles-of-rum shanty What the Driven Drink, from 2007s delirious Sucks Blood exists in a different galaxy than the rollercoastering Chem-Farmer from last years 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. And the band that made last years engrossing Putrifiers II seems like a distant cousin to the one delivering Floating Coffinarguably the most varied and textured Oh Sees record to date.
