OSEES - SORCS 80

£33.99
Tax included.

Released: 09/08/2024

What do you do if you’re one of the most feted cult guitar bands of your generation, but, after 20-odd albums, feel like shaking it up a bit? If you’re the Osees (AKA OCS, Thee Oh Sees, etc, etc), you ditch the guitars, of course. And so, aside from a bass, essential for that pulsating motorik rhythm that John Dwyer and co. love so much, new one Sorcs 80 is all about synths, drums and, occasionally, horns. This unusual combination cannot help but make the record one of the most singular sounding Osees albums in their oeuvre, but more than that, it also features some of the best tracks they've ever written – up there with, say, ‘I Come from the Mountain’ from Floating Coffin, or ‘Penetrating Eye’ from Drop

Dwyer also dramatically changes up his singing style on the record, seemingly in accordance with the style of each track, and so on the brilliant, horn-laden ‘Earthling’, which could be a Dexy’s track from Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, the frontman sounds a lot like Kevin Rowland – and it really works (plus it has a lovely synth outro to rival that of Pixies’ ‘Alec Eiffel’); while on 'Cassius, Brutas & Judas', which sounds like queer-electro junk-punkers Nervous Gender covering Crass (ie, amazing), Dwyer goes full Steve Ignorant. Aside from maybe David Bowie, I’m struggling to think of other singers who have experimented with such a chameleonic approach, but on the strength of the wonderful Sorcs 80, more artists should try it.
