Adult Swim, the top-rated television network and arbiter of must-hear, cutting-edge music, enters the world of garage rock for the first time with the May 6 digital launch of Garage Swim. Sponsored by...
Thee Oh Sees haven't wasted any creative time with a quick return for their latest Floating Coffin album. "Toe Cutter-Thumb Buster" works as a fuzzy mid-tempo tune with melodic hooks all over, including the bass line and guitar work. Over sixteen years, this is the twelfth full-length for the various incarnations of this band (not including various EPs). Thee Of Sees retain a youthful vibe that is obviously serving them well. By Bruce Rave Thee Oh Sees - Toe Cutter Thumb Buster ( Facebook [...]
San Francisco garage vets Thee Oh Sees released the followup to last year's Putrifiers II recently via Castle Face Records and it's called Floating Coffin . Thee Oh Sees and John Strong teamed up last year for an absolute rager of a music video. They're back together again in the below clip for Floating Coffin's second, ultra heavy-sounding single "Toe Cutter/Thumb Blaster". This is why we do our grocery shopping in well lit AND populated areas. Stay safe guys. Buy [...]
Thee Oh Sees Adult Swim sigue compartiendo más canciones de su siguiente compilación Garage Swim , de la cual ya pudimos escuchar ayer la divertida aportación de los Black Lips . Hoy llegó la aportación de Thee Oh Sees titulada "Devil Again" . Abajo pueden escucharla. Esta compilación que también incluye participaciones de bandas como JEFF the Brotherhood , Mikal Cronin , The Gris Gris , Bass Drum of Death y varios más, estará disponible de forma gratuita a partir del [...]
Thee Oh Sees haven't always been the band you see today. The psych-rock stalwarts began as the one-man side project of John Dwyer and over the next decade slowly evolved into its current four-member iteration, changing names five times along the way. One thing that has been constant about The Oh Sees, however, is their tendency to put out good music. For their latest venture, Thee Oh Sees have teamed up with Adult Swim and a handful of garage rock heavy hitters for Garage Swim . The compilation album features tracks by Mikal Cronin, King [...]
Thee Oh Sees Floating Coffin Castle Face Records Did you find The Flaming Lips' latest album, The Terror, lacking the the kind of wonderfully weird vibes Wayne Coyne and company had built their career upon? Yes? Well read on, because the San Francisco garage rock outfit, Thee Oh Sees have a dandy of a record for you. Featuring the same over-sized, blasted-all-out-to-hell guitar aesthetic as The Lips, Thee Oh Sees' Floating Coffin is gleeful, loud, and endearingly strange where The Terror was meek, and only scary in the way a hotel [...]
Do you know who have sneakily become one of the better record labels? Take a bunch of guesses, but I'll bet none of them include Williams Street . That’s right, the weird and twisted people behind Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim line of programming have come on as something of masterful curators in the music field. From proper album releases (like Killer Mike’s R.A.P. Music ) to terrific remix mixtapes ( ATL RMX ) to yearly MP3 single series, Williams Street Records have hit a hot streak. Even if you disagree with some of their more nontraditional methods - [...]

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has put together another drool-worthy compilation appropriately titled, Garage Swim . Due out May 6th via William Street Records, and sponsored by Dr. Pepper, the record strings together unreleased songs by Thee Oh Sees, JEFF the Brotherhood, Mikal Cronin, Black Lips, King Tuff, Weekend, King Khan and the Gris Gris, Mind Spiders, Bass Drum of Death, and many more. In anticipation, stream the scuffy dance floor madness of Thee Oh Sees' inclusion, "Devil Again". We stress that you find a greasy wooden floor for this one. [...]
Adult Swim's been really good with compilations recently - they're releasing a new one soon called Garage Swim , which you can probably guess is all garage rock, and teasing it with this awesome new track from Thee Oh Sees called "Devil Again." We've always preferred the band's epic, kraut-y jams, but this sub-three-minute banger is definitely fantastic - we love how Brigid Dawson's keyboard takes a charmingly kitchy, haunted-house lead over classic, distorted guitar riffs from John Dwyer. The comp also features new tracks from the Black Lips, Mikal Cronin , King [...]
![[Listen] Thee Oh Sees: "Devil Again"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4921107_lg.jpg)
Thee Oh Sees ha estado presentando un par de vídeos bastante buenos para los sencillos que se han ido desprendiendo de su más reciente disco, pero la verdad los he estado ignorando dentro de este espacio por una muy extraña razón, ya que por un instante suelo olvidarme de 'qué es lo siguiente' que debo venir a compartirles día con día. Hoy, tratare de enmendar mis errores con este corte que acaba de aparecer en forma de "Devil Again", el cual forma parte de un nuevo compilado gratuito que Adult Swim estará lliberando este 7 de Mayo de nombre [...]
I picked up a new toy a few hours before my show. My bike had been in the shop for a few days with a broken spoke and to get a new chain and cassette (the latter of which was a special order item), and I decided to try out a 2012 model Trek. Ended up using my old bike as a trade in and coming home with the new ride pictured above. With this kind of reckless spending, I needed a garage/psychedelic rock kind of night. Here's my playlist for [...]

White Fence: Cyclops Reap — Originally intended to be a selection of unreleased White Fence backlog, Cyclops Reap is the product of revisiting the old in order to create the new. Tim Presley of White Fence cranks out recordings faster than one can keep track. Like his psych comrades Ty Segall and John Dwyer (of Thee Oh Sees ), he’s a little hard to keep up with. There’s been a handful of White Fence LP’s released in only a few years time, not to mention a collaborative [...]

John Dwyer, guitarrista que trabalhou nos anos '90 com várias bandas associadas ao movimento indie em São Francisco e que desde 2006 tem enveredado pelo seu lado compositor/vocalista, lançou na semana passada mais um álbum da sua banda, sob o alter ego Thee Oh Sees, chamado 'Floating Coffin'. 'Floating Coffin' é um super álbum do princípio ao fim. Mega e super em tudo. Mega bateria, mega
Die physischen Record-Store-Day-Mixtapes waren rares Gut. Jetzt gibt es das gute Stück als Download. Am Record Store Day wird nicht nur das Schallplatten-Shopping gehuldigt, sondern auch das Verschenken von Mixtapes - zumindest bei 78s. In Zürich und Winterthur wurden deshalb eine auserlesene Käuferschaft mit der "Happy Record Store Day"-CD von 78s belohnt. Wer keines der seltenen Schönheiten gekriegt hat, darf sich folgende Songs auf den heimischen Computer hieven: 1 Acid House Kings / This Heart Is A Stone [...]
Stumbling through the alleyways of your city of choice, late on a Saturday night at 3AM, you put on Floating Coffin , the new album from Thee Oh Sees , and you shout to no one in particular: "This is the best band in the world!" Your statement, while drunkenly hyperbolic, is not too far off. Indeed, Thee Oh Sees almost force you to exaggerate and make definitive claims, so here is mine: the San Francisco garage-rock savants may not be The Best Band In The World, but they are most likely [...]
Okay, I know, being a San Francisco music writer and choosing Thee Oh Sees as one of your two bi-weekly musical choices is like being a Seattle music writer in the early 90s and choosing Nirvana. Duh, Thee Oh Sees are great, fantastic even, continuing to evolve slowly and surely and prolifically in to this amalgamated monster of all things good and gritty, but you can open up any website with any sort of hip-credentials and this, if that website is worth its salt, will have a new Thee Oh Sees video blaring somewhere on their front page, [...]
