Oh Sees continue to soldier on in an increasingly barren rock landscape. Not much that's showy*, nothing that's grasping for a larger audience, just a ridiculously assured drive forward, riding that evenkeeled, tight, onward chug//thrash//spasm of guitar, bass, organ, classic Dwyer crooning.
Don't let me undercut. This album is great because the band is great, and this continues Orc's run of no-fat supertight trippy riffage. It's great. More so than most this feels like a sampler for a _blazing live show. It's just that it comes from this hyperprolific lineage (see also Ty and King Gizzard) where you don't notice them. That kid that gets A's all the time and what're you supposed to say with each new report card. Everything you could want from what's left of rock, may it never stop sustaining us 4.5/5
* on the other hand i mean like them drums on the end of Last Peace, say, that makes me apalpitate
