Do not let the truth that John Dwyer is at all times releasing new music trick you into taking him with no consideration. Within the first half of this yr, the California psychedelic garage-punk king has already launched the brand new facet challenge Heathen Axe, launched a brand new album beneath his solo guise Broken Bug, and dropped a shock EP from his best-known band, Osees. And now we get an entire new Osees LP too.
Off Course, the brand new Osees document out right this moment, is barely 5 tracks, however a few of them are lengthy, and Dwyer is asking it an album. It definitely takes you on a journey the best way good albums do. The songs are playful, funky, and hallucinatory in a method that jogs my memory how a lot King Gizzard owes to this crew. Dwyer says it emerged from limitless jam classes, a way the Osees hadn’t employed for some time:
We went again to an older methodology of writing for this one.
We jammed and jammed and jammed.
I took the tapes house and ironed out some mutant tunes.
We went again into the studio and burned them to tape reside after which I took it house
to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and introduced in Tom Dolas & Brigid Dawson to place the end on.
Spice is at all times good.Combined all of it up within the cauldron and thus now we have a wierd brew certainly
Floating within the smoke now we have:
A pair lengthy jams, a pair brief jams and a finale that’ll dump a bucket of ear worms on you
(paying homage to “the axis”?)
Dip your toe in organ rock and rollSo with out additional ado
We current to you
“OFF COURSE”

We’re right here
We’re alive
And we’re collectivelyCHEERS NO EARS
