New Music Friday has brought Intercepted Message – the latest album from Osees. Revisit our review and stream it right here.
“Basically, you should start every Osees album as if you’ve never heard any of the previous ones.”
“This can save a lot of time: Intercepted Message is the twenty-sixth John Dwyer’s band have made in its multiple different names and formats since 1997, a productivity which emulates that of The Fall and for him the minstrel role of its similarly fin-de-siecle gang master Mark E. Smith.”
“Adopting this goldfish-like approach means the only stat that’s important here is that it’s the successor to A Foul Form, an outing on which Dwyer and co. paid homage to anarcho-punk bands like Crass and Rudimentary Peni from which suitable – and familiar – abrasive chaos ensued.”
“As with that outing, the sometimes difficult frontman has provided liner notes of sorts, writing: “A pop record for tired time…At long last, Verse / chorus…Early grade garage pop meets proto-synth punk suicide-repellant.””
