"'Goon' is synth-punk-meets-hair-metal greatness. Imagine an edgier, subtler, less-hairsprayed version of KISS [...] It’s a tune that will transport you to the most rebellious years of your early tweens, the kind of tongue-in-cheek, 'fuck you all' number that never fails to make you want to head-bang at your desk." - Paste
"Title track 'Intercepted Message' is indeed on the poppier side of the Dwyer oeuvre [...] Rich Homie Quan talked the talk, but John Dwyer walks the walk: The man will never stop going in" - Stereogum
"OSEES keep shedding their skin and changing shape." - Brooklyn Vegan |

The ever prolific and constantly frenetic OSEES recently announced details for their forthcoming LP, Intercepted Message, due August 18 via In The Red. Following the release of the record's first single and title track, "Intercepted Message" (alongside an accompanying video), today, the band shares another new track entitled "Goon," also with its own video (starring Zack Palmisano).
On their forthcoming album, John Dwyer wrote the following:
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?)
Stay tuned for the full-length Intercepted Message LP, out August 18. |
