Oh Sees is an American garage/psychedelic rock band led by John Dwyer, known for blending garage, krautrock influences and experimental textures.

Led by John Dwyer. The band name changed from Thee Oh Sees to Oh Sees in the period discussed by the reviews. Reviewers note a lineup reorganization from 2015 onwards and a shift toward longer, more psychedelic and experimental song structures.

Three DeBaser reviews (two by psychopompe, one by Seamus1804) praise Oh Sees' blend of garage and kraut-inflected psychedelia. Reviewers highlight longer song structures, analog electronics, and occasional metal or progressive detours. Overall the writing frames recent albums as ambitious and often successful.

For:Listeners who enjoy garage and psychedelic rock, experimental and kraut-influenced music.

 

John Dwyer's band made a smart choice last year, which was to inoculate their garage with the kraut vibrio, broadening its horizons and mixing it, sometimes even roughly, with analog electronics and less aligned psychedelia, releasing two albums ("Weird Exits" and "Odd Entrances") that are among their best releases ever.

With the reorganization of the lineup from 2015 onwards, the all-out, somewhat noise, somewhat psychotic assault that characterized the band until "Drop" has given way to a less harsh and more psychedelic sound, and at the same time, the very structure of the songs has started to dissolve, taking directions once unthinkable.

At first, it seems like just garage-pop, but soon you’re swept into a boiling magma of acid guitars, almost hard-rock accelerations, and psychedelic frenzies from which you can’t escape unscathed.
