Better Tracks: I Come From The Mountain, Tunnel Time
This is the kind of band people
ought to spin at Halloween parties, in-between sets at Knights of
Columbus scene shows, or at Laser Tag arenas. Overall, they're better than some near-secret pleasure of the vinylgentsia and download link bloggers. The band
has come a ways from their sparser work of the past, and have
hardened into a force of tight, spastic, echo-laden freak-out rock that
holds down a rocket ship of a rhythm section to drive your psychic
surf garage nights, you people who hold DJ nights like that. But, I
feel like they said a lot with Castlemania and Carrion Crawler/ The Dream. 2011 was a huge year for Thee Oh Sees in that
regard. They have a shitload of albums. Last year's Putrifiers II
was good, too. With all this cranking out, Floating Coffin
seems to get lost in the bustle as an average, if heavier entry that
doesn't seem to add much to all the crazy hard work they put into
being a live band, or making music videos, as "Minotaur" (embedded below) has delayed my artsy-fartsy statement that the music video is dead for at least a few months.
Verdict: This Band Works Hard as Shit What Scheduling Software Do They Use
Thee Oh Sees - Minotaur
