Lead singer\/songwriter\/guitarist John Dwyer is one of the hardest working people in music right now\u2014leading Thee Oh Sees, running his label Castle Face, and putting out miscellaneous side projects, like Damaged Bug\u2014so it\u2019s surprising that he had enough time to create another substantial album like<em> A Weird Exits<\/em>.<br \/>\nWhile <em>A Weird Exits<\/em> is very consistent with the rest of Thee Oh See\u2019s discography, it shows how well the band has progressed and evolved through multiple lineup changes and almost 20 years of existence. This album experiments more with extended jams (especially on \u201cJammed Entrance\u201d, obviously), as opposed to the short and to-the-point garage gems on their previous albums. \u201cTicklish Warrior\u201d is a powerful pseudo-ballad that sounds big enough to fill a stadium, while \u201cThe Axis\u201d is a glitchy, T.Rex-esque love song that closes the album perfectly. <em>A Weird Exits<\/em> takes risks without being too inaccessible, but it also acts as a stepping stone between the classic psych-garage albums of the past and the (maybe? possibly?) more experimental albums of the future. Either way, give this album a listen.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Ty Segall, Meatbodies, Fuzz, Jay Reatard, King Gizzard<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 2 (Ticklish Warrior), 4 (Plastic Plant), 5 (Gelatinous Cube)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Caroline Roe on 08\/29\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest album from Thee Oh Sees will blow your eardrums out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1643,"featured_media":48493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5183,2951,986,559],"class_list":["post-48492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-a-weird-exits","tag-caroline-roe","tag-rotation","tag-thee-oh-sees"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/160276.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1643"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
