Thee oh Sees announces a new album

nice_cookie [Edit] [Delete] 72 replies 10:11 January 29th, 2013

Got to love theses guys. The last one came out Sept 2012.

Anyway, the album will be called Floating Coffin and is apparently much darker than their usual output. And the artwork. Wow.

They do like 2 or 3 a year every year without fail, don't they?

Surely it would be news if there WEREN'T another album due soon?

- this'll be their fourth album since May 2011
  
  I think it's news because their LPs are always really really good and because they're a great band

Nice work!

The last two Putrifiers II & Carrion Crawler/The Dream were ace. Loving that whole San Fran scene at the minute Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin, the Intelligence all releasing stellar efforts in the last year or two

Lets hope there'll be a UK tour on the cards

pretty sure I've seen their name on a UK festival line up somewhere recently, maybe an ATP one??
I've only got Help, Warm Slime and Putrifiers II. More will be purchased at some point.
Personal favourites other than those listed?

  - I bought Carrion Crawler/The Dream last night in Rough Trade
    
    only had the chance to listen to it once but it's sounding pretty good. Not as immediately great as Help and Putrifiers II so far but hey, every album needs to bed on down in the brainbox for a while.

- They're playing the TV On the Radio ATP.
  
  Which hopefully means Upset the Rhythm will have them on in London as well.
  Buy The Master's Bedroom is Worth Spending a Night In..... It's a great album.

great news

their last few releases have been excellent, i'm sure this one will be too. Hope for some uk tour dates, though seeing them play in a tiny basement in Birmingham a few years back will take a lot to beat

lustforlife | 29 Jan '13, 11:56 | X | ^ This | Reply
Excited.

Love Putrifiers II was great, love how they change it up every record and remain so consistently propulsive live.

yeah woo

none of the other West coast garagey bands do much for me, but these guys are well good.

example of this

Love these

Never heard of them until I stumbled across them at Godspeed ATP a few years back in Reds. At the time they were such a welcome change from the drone of the other acts that weekend, such a fun band live. Looking forward to this.

    Of the five ATP's I've been to that set is probably one of my most memorable ones. The entire weekend the audience were total beard stroke for the most part, but this, stage diving & moshing. Loved it!

Last couple times they have played ATP...

There have been no separate UK dates, which is massively frustrating. Trying to remember the last time they played their own headline show in London - Think it was possibly November 2010 in Brixton?

They played the Dome in Tufnell Park after that.

    Saw them in Stockholm last June supporting Brian Jonestown and Kurt Vile.
    
    That was a 'phwoar' show if ever there was one.

    - Wasn't it just
      
      I was at that Stockholm show too and it was one of the most electrifying sets I've ever seen in 20 years of gigging. That elongated version of 'The Dream' caused by John Dwyer breaking a string, and the band looping it around for about five additional minutes as he sorted that out, was proper good, like.
      
      Here's to some UK dates this summer!

Liverpool Sound City

Looks like they're playing Liverpool Sound City the weekend before the TV On The Radio ATP - which bodes well for a few other UK dates in between.

Oh Sees with a string section for the first time

Wasn't so sure about this at first but it has quite a nice mood really. Would prefer them shitting out 8 minute garage-psych jams though

    Carrion Crawler/The Dream was unbelievable. Not really into Floating Coffin as much as everyone else though. Still very good, but feel they are capable of much better...

    - there are a lot of awesome riffs
      
      sounds and bass-lines in it. Some very cool ideas - tricks with delay and such-like, and strong song progressions. I like it a lot more than Putrefiers II. Some of it more than Carrion Crawler stuff, some less so. Not disappointed at all.

  That was only during the CC tour I think. But Lars Finberg who did the extra drumming is coming over in June with the Intelligence. Already super excited for that show.

      He outstayed his welcome a bit didn't he but didn't spoil the gig in anyway for me as I was having to much sweaty fun in the moshpit area. I bloody love Thee Oh Sees!! Incredible live band, so much energy and adrenalin going on. Not entirely sure how people can stand dead still to it but each to their own. Personally i lost by sheeeeeeeeeit to them in fine style.
      
      Only the one drummer. No size small t-shirts which was a bummer. Apparently they'd sold out of them by the 4th gig of this tour.
      
      King Khan got his dick out by all accounts. Plus he chucked all their food rider into the crowd bit by bit. Not sure why he was there to be honest but hey.

        Me and the missus couldn't quite decide if it was or not. Maybe next time he can bring that moody fuck BBQ with him and they could play a show or two...
