Osees Set August Release For New Album 'Intercepted Message', Share Title Track
Friday, 19 May 2023
Written by Jon Stickler
Osees have shared details of their new album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'A Foul Form' is called 'Intercepted Message' and will arrive in August via In The Red, though a release date is still to be confirmed.
As a preview, check out the title track, a synth-punk offering that leans more into new-wave pop territory than their previous material. As usual, frontman John Dwyer has written the bio for the album:
"A pop record for tired times.
Sugared with bits of shatterproof glass to put more crack in your strap.
At long last, Verse / chorus
A weathered thesaurus
This is Osees bookend sound
Early grade garage pop meets proto-synth punk suicide-repellant
Have a whack at the grass or listen while flat on your ass
Heaps of electronic whirling accelerants to gum up your cheapskate broadband
Social media toilet scrapers unite!
Allow your 24 hour news cycle eyes to squint at this smiling abattoir doorman
You can find your place here at long last
All are welcome
From the get go to the finale …. A distant crackling transmission of 80s synth last-dance-of-the-night tune for your lost loves
Suffering from Politic amnesia?
Bored of AI-generated pop slop?
Then this one is for you, our friends
Wasteland wanderer, stick around.
Love y’all
For fans of Teutonic synth punk and Thee Oh Sees (who the fuck are they?)
– John Dwyer"
