(Thee) Oh Sees @ Sirens Festival – Paul Bachmann for Live4ever
A video for the Oh Sees track Poisoned Stones has been posted online with the band’s latest album, the double LP Face Stabber, out on August 16th.
It keeps things more concise when compared with the 20-minute-plus lead track Henchlock, the album described as a ‘Soundcloud hip-hop reversed, a far flung nemesis of contemporary country and flaccid algorithmic pop-barf’, in a message which accompanied its announcement.
“No songs about money or love are floating in the ether. Just memories, echoes, foggy blurs. Blip-blop goes the scope. Heavy funk. Dystopia-punk canons. Lonnnnng jams.”
“Bloated solos dribbling down your caved-in chest. Human cattle like a beef avalanche, right on your burned out face hole. Spider legs fuzz crawling in your brain.”
