Okay, so they’re not dead dead. But the band formerly known as Thee Oh Sees have pulled a phoenix move on us, and out of the ashes rise Oh Sees. Get your neck brace ready. This year, 2017, marks the 20th year of John Dwyer’s ever-evolving rotation of names and musicians and assorted ways to blow your eardrums out. And what better way to celebrate that feat than with yet another album, officially titled Orc, set to drop August 25th on Castle Face Records. Check out their first track from the album, “The Static God”, and check tour dates below. Because there’s one steadfast, unwavering truth about Oh Sees, whatever their name may be: they perform live like no other. –Maya Eslami
