The Thee Oh Sees have been around since 1997 and are renowned for their experimental home recordings. You may well approach the track with that idea in mind. When the guitars enter after half a minute however, my foot was tapping helplessly. Come on. Go. But from then on until two minutes into the track, I confess I was frustrated. It sounds like a decent band in a decent garage doing a decent instrumental. Then vocals arrive and the beat and song find an urgency that doesn’t end. My goodness about time too, if this is in a garage near you, invite your friends, bring some beers and lock the doors.
Thee Oh Sees – Fortress
