From the new album Castlemania.

While Thee Oh Sees’ catalog often plays like one long, unrelenting wallop sliced up into individual songs, Castlemania finds the Bay Area band introducing more baroque instrumentation to gild their swirling attack. And while it’s hard to imagine John Dwyer ever releasing something flat-out happy, a slightly more cheerful disposition lurks behind theses tales of desperation and bottoming out. Prefix
