Gig Soup
Thee Oh Sees’ sound has always evolved by degrees, and trying to figure out whether ‘A Weird Exits’ is an endgame or another progressive phase is just as impossible as deciphering its enigmatic title

Pretty Much Amazing
Just because they slowed down and stretched out doesn’t make their music any less heavy

Time has been kind to Thee Oh Sees, who remain proper royalty in the garage rock universe and manage to shape-shift without losing their boisterous and impactful delivery

As purveyors of an unconventional brand of audio auteurism, Thee Oh Sees inhabit the same corner of the sandbox as the Coen Brothers: uninfluenced by peers, endlessly productive, and anything but ignored
