Arriving via songwriter John Dwyer's own Deathgod label, 'OFF COURSE' comprises just five tracks — two of them are almost 10 minutes long — which Dwyer said emerged from endless jam sessions. In a statement released alongside the project, he said:
"We went back to an older method of writing for this one.
We jammed and jammed and jammed.
I took the tapes home and ironed out some mutant tunes.
We went back into the studio and burned them to tape live and then I took it home to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and bought in Tom Dolas & Brigid Dawson to put the finish on.~
Spice is always nice.
"Mixed it all up in the cauldron and thus we have a strange brew indeed.
Floating in the smoke we have:
A couple long jams, a couple short jams and a finale that’ll dump a bucket of ear worms on you (reminiscent of “the axis”?)
Dip your toe in organ rock and roll
"So without further ado
We present to you
“OFF COURSE”
An album wondering where the fuck are we and how did we get here
"A signal dispatched out into the darkness
"We are here
We are alive
And we are together
"CHEERS NO EARS
PD/DG/OSEES "
Recorded live and later completed with vocals and contributions from Tom Dolas and Brigid Dawson, the follow-up to last August's 'Abomination Revealed At Last' is available digitally now, with a physical release slated for September 25.
Since last summer, Dwyer has also launched a new side project called Heathen Axe, released a new album under his solo guise Damaged Bug, and dropped a surprise EP titled 'Cara Mulco' in March with Osees.
Osees have announced 2026 tour dates across the US, Europe and the UK, with the latter leg including stops in Leeds and London next month. Tickets are on sale now.
