Oh Sees

“We’ve dipped deep into the dark waters of our song-sack of holding and found several more never-before-performed-live tunes & paired them up with some oldies we’ve knocked the dust off of, as well as some fan favorites and general surprises to make the merry very,“ says frontman John Dwyer.

Plus: Smashing Pumpkins, The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle, Disco Biscuits, and more.

This week in Indie Basement: reviews of new albums by Osees, Matt Berry, Mildlife and Le Couleur, plus Third Man’s new Detroit Space-rock comp.

”Bent Arcana is the inceptive chapter in what I hope to be several releases showcasing these types of off-the-cuff musical compositions,” says Dwyer. ”So you can try your fry on and turn off. This one is very much on the ECM / 70s hard fusion / prog-kraut tip.”

Listen to new songs from Muzz (Interpol etc), Sondre Lerche, Migos, Voivod, Maps (Stephen Morris remix), Lady Gaga ft. Ariana Grande, Brigid Dawson (Oh Sees), Spirit of the Beehive, Trash Talk, and more.
