The San Francisco-based psychedelic, garage rock group has been up to the same thing since 1997, touring relentlessly and recording records.<\/p>\n<p>The new album brings familiar sounds Thee Oh Sees\u2019 fans love with washed out, whaling guitar tracks like \u201cLupine Ossuary\u201d that exhibit four minutes or so calculated madness. <em>Mutilator Defeated At Last <\/em>also gives the listener remarkable classic rock flashbacks with tracks like \u201cPoor Queen\u201d where the voice of frontman John Dwyer transforms to Geddy Lee of Rush, or \u201cTurned Out Light\u201d that screams Zeppelin.<\/p>\n<p>The guys are at their best on the track \u201cSticky Hulks\u201d that partners mellow, melodic keyboard sections with bright, reverberated guitar and Dwyer\u2019s voice, instead, droning at a more casual pace. The records finishes with \u201cPalace Doctor\u201d that has the swaying, loose-knit bass groove and ethereal vocals you would expect to hear on a Radiohead record.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mutilator Defeated At Last <\/em>is yet another fantastic release from the California psych-rockers. Fans of Thee Oh Sees can realistically expect more and more tours with solid albums on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended If You Like: Tame Impala, Ty Segall, Spaceface<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Tracks: 6 (Sticky Hulks), 1 (Web), 4 (Turned Out Light), 5 (Lupine Ossuary)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Not Play: None<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by Harrison Hipp 06\/26\/15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mutilator Defeated At Last is yet another fantastic release from the California psych-rockers.
