Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third full-length album from the electronic-focused solo project of Thee Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer offers a typically hyperactive, bizarre sonic experience. The tracking entirely swaps his signature guitar-heavy garage rock for squelching vintage analog synthesizers, primitive drum machines, and surreal, sci-fi-themed vocal manipulations. The record is a nervous, quirky, and highly rhythmic exploration of experimental synth-punk and neo-psychedelia.
