 | | Description: | Protean Threat by Osees, released 18 September 2020, includes the following tracks: "Upbeat Ritual", "Terminal Jape", "Said The Shovel", "If I Had My Way" and more.
This version of Protean Threat comes as a 1xCD. - Witness the ever-changing, ever-mutating threat that is reality. Perception is under duress; sensibility is bending everyday under the barrage of nonsense. One must make note of whom one is and what one has become: look into the mirror of the planet-killers-psychic cannibals infiltrate and contaminate once familiar and seemingly secure territories... formidable foes indeed! What powers these beasts? What fuels discord and hatred? The behemoth of a "civil" society? What are the weapons at one's disposal? Generosity is the aegis against greed, empathy is the armor to deflect apathy, love is the club to abate hate... The fog is lifting and humans are opening their eyes. And so Castle Face offers this field recording, the Osees Protean Threat, from the pits as a quick booster between protein pills and recycled sweat beverage anthems to assist the listener to not worship at the altar of violence and greed, to not offer oneself up for free, to stand up and be vigilant! Truth will not be found in the speeches and photo ops of the overlords- stand strong and together under the gaze of the oppressors. Stand vigilant, united with those who don't have the same privileges. Demand respect and a peaceful life for all. This recording is at the apogee of scuzz-punk anthem amulets for the ears and heart, a battery for one's core. Be strong. Be human. Be love.Digipak with plastic tray. Made in CZ.
Recorded & mixed at Sonic Ranch, April 2020.

THANK YOU TO OUR FANS
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE"Protean Threat" on CD captures Osees (also known over the years as Thee Oh Sees / Oh Sees) at one of their most kinetic and shape-shifting moments. The album hurls itself forward with tightly wound songs that fuse garage rock intensity, jagged punk energy and a restless psychedelic edge. Short, punchy tracks tumble into each other with barely a pause, driven by pounding dual drums, wiry guitars and John Dwyer's urgent vocals, creating a compact but densely packed listening experience that rewards both focused attention and loud, full-album playback. The production is raw yet clear, emphasizing a live-in-the-room feel that matches the band's reputation as a ferocious live act. Lyrically and atmospherically, "Protean Threat" feels nervy and futuristic, full of tension, grit and off-kilter hooks that stick after just a few spins.
Osees have long been a central force in contemporary garage and psych rock, known for constant evolution, prolific output and marathon live performances. Under John Dwyer's leadership, the band has released a long string of acclaimed albums on the underground and indie circuit, becoming a reference point for modern psychedelic rock and high-energy garage punk. Their willingness to continually mutate their sound--folding in krautrock pulses, noise rock sharpness and progressive structures--has earned them a devoted global following and strong critical respect across multiple eras of the band.
The CD edition of "Protean Threat" presented here offers the full album in a durable, collectible format, ideal for listeners who value a physical library and high-quality, gapless playback. Artwork and packaging reflect the record's tense, sci-fi-tinged mood, making the disc not only a listening experience but also an appealing object for fans of Osees' ever-expanding catalog.
This release appears on Castle Face, the independent label co-founded and long associated with John Dwyer. Castle Face has established itself as a key home for contemporary garage, punk and experimental rock, nurturing a roster of boundary-pushing artists and favoring bold artwork, analog sensibilities and a DIY ethos. With a strong reputation among collectors and fans of underground music, Castle Face has become synonymous with adventurous, high-energy records, and "Protean Threat" stands as a characteristic example of the label's forward-driving catalog. | | | No. of tracks: |
