Californian psych rock band Oh Sees have announced the release of their new double record Face Stabber, coming this August, and gave us the record’s gargantuan closing track Henchlock to celebrate.
The track comes in at a mammoth 21 minutes, blending warped licks under frontman John Dwyer’s sultry, gliding vocal tone. The release of the song comes less than a year after the band’s last record Smote Reverser.
Oh Sees deliver psych rock musings on Henchlock, the 21-minute closing track to their upcoming double record Face Stabber.
Dwyer delivers the almost inaudible line “it’s an easy living baby/when you’re dying/on an empty stomach maybe/but feeling fine” in the midst of a simmering 7-minute jazz-psych outro to the track, bringing the listener back down to earth.
Never ones to take themselves too seriously, Oh Sees have described the record as “Soundcloud hip-hop reversed, a far flung nemesis of contemporary country and flaccid algorithmic pop-barf” in a press release.
Coming August 14th through Castle Face Records, the record will be the third from the band under their most recent moniker but the 22nd in their entire discography, dating all the way back to the late ’90s.
Check out the closing track to Oh Sees’ upcoming record Face Stabber below.
