Mac Demarco has announced the launch of his own record label, titled ‘Mac’s Record Label‘. The new label will be distributed through Universal Music Group’s Caroline.
“With 21 full-lengths, eight EPs, two live albums, four compilations, and at least a dozen seven-inches released over the last 21 years, there’s a lot to talk about when it comes to garage-psych outfit Oh Sees (also known as Thee Oh Sees).”
“It, too, rips with a house-burning intensity. “Pre Strike Sweep” is a feverish punk-leaning thrasher. Guitars chug and screech behind Shaw’s hoarse barking and Moothart’s restless drumbeat. It kind of sounds like GØGGS covering Show Me The Body covering Dead Kennedys.”

“Eric Moore and Michael Cavanagh have known each other since they were in their teens, playing in nurturing musical communities before finding success in the ornately technical and mosh invoking seven-piece Melbourne outfit King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. “
In a new volume of Bloomsbury’s 33 ⅓ series, Berkeley-based singer-songwriter Ezra Furman dissects Lou Reed’s second solo album with a thoroughness and fervor that could only come from someone who has loved him for years.
“First single “Overthrown” jams a dose of heavy metal skull-crushery into Oh Sees’ typically frenetic style, and the latest album’s cover art leans further into the theme with a painting of a dragon looming over a burning city. It looks like the cover of a fantasy novel, which coincidentally is artist Matt Stawicki’s main gig.”
“The ever-prolific Oh Sees are back with a new album this summer. It’s titled Smote Reverser, and it arrives August 17 via Castle Face.”
This week, we’re sharing songs from Ezra Furman, whose latest record, Transangelic Exodus, was just released last week.
When Jess Cornelius named her 2016 album Give Up on Your Health, she did so as a warning to herself not to get sick – physically, or mentally. As an artist, she couldn’t afford it. The musician, who performs as Teeth & Tongue, has just swapped Melbourne for LA. Sounds great, except she found that […]
Which is to say, is there too much recorded music in the world? Yes. Is most of it forgettable? Certainly. Below are 30 albums, alphabetically arranged, by Los Angeles-area artists issued this year that deserve your investment.
My motto is: try everything, life is short,” says John Dwyer, the leader of San Francisco garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. “We are growing at every turn. Every day you get a little older, a little closer to the grave – you should taste it all.
As his band releases its 20th album, the prolific musician and label head explains how ‘D&D’ and a “zen” work ethic fuel his underground empire
Whether you call his band Thee Oh Sees, Oh Sees, or OCS, there’s no denying John Dwyer’s prolific musical output.
Oh Sees’ John Dwyer was the latest guest on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast. The conversation covers Dwyer’s prolific career and his influences.
John Dwyer, the frenetically prolific frontman of Thee Oh Sees and all the band’s verious mutations (Oh Sees, OCS) joined Maron in his garage to talk about garage rock.
Ty Segall has shared a new single. It’s called “My Lady’s on Fire,” and you can hear it below. The new track follows his recent songs “Alta” and “Meaning.”
Ty Segall is the latest to cover the theme song for Adult Swim’s animated series “Squidbillies.” Segall has joined the list of artists who have taken on the theme song, including Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, Sharon Van Etten, Father John Misty, Bob Mould, and more.
Of the video, frontman John Dwyer said in a statement: “Animation and role-playing games were a huge part of my youth, so I was really excited to work on this with Alex Theodoropulos and make a fun Halloween video that harkens back to the real simple times.
Just in time for Halloween, Oh Sees have a spooky/scary animated video for “Nite Expo” from this year’s Orc. Hand-drawn and animated by Alex Theodoropulos, the video plays off some of frontman John Dwyer’s childhood loves.
Thee Oh Sees, or Oh Sees, or OCS, or whatever John Dwyer is calling his band these days, have a new album coming out next month. But today, they’re looking back to this summer’s LP Orc with a colorful animated video for “Nite Expo” from director Alex Theodoropulos.
John Dwyer, the guitarist and lead singer for Oh Sees (formerly Thee Oh Sees), makes a good case for the argument that the best decade for making music is right now.
The Oklahoman stalwarts make electronic-tinged psychedelia, while DeMarco pens earnest, slacker-rock jams — but their oddball personalities and charismatic live shows make perfect sense together.
The indie-rocker’s third album contains his most immediate, heartfelt songwriting.
Mac DeMarco may no longer need to participate in medical experiments for pocket change, but nine years into his career, the 27-year-old Canadian soft rocker still isn’t taking anything for granted.
On the album’s opening, title track, Dwyer sounds every bit as at ease as he did over the wild Richter-scale energy of his recent records.
Indie-rock goofball Mac DeMarco recently premiered a new music video for his song “This Old Dog,” the title track off of his latest album.
