Well lookie what we have here - a BRAND NEW Oh Sees album - just in time for summer! "Floating Coffin" is the band's fifteenth proper studio album (if you count the four records under the OCS moniker) since 2003, this time on Dwyer's own Castle Face imprint! Fans of the band will find much to love about "Floating Coffin" - Dwyer and Co.'s patented manic Krautrock'cum'psych'cum'garage goulash is in full effect. However, the band seems to recognize the futility of trying to top a masterpiece like 'Putrifiers II", and instead sidesteps it by creating an album just as good, but with a suite of tunes that crackle with a touch more finesse. Whereas "Putrifiers II" was a caveman club to the back of yer 'ead, "Floating Coffin" glides past and effortlessly shivs you with the business end of a sharpened toothbrush. You don't even notice you're bleeding until it's too late. Tunes like "I Come From The Mountain" and "Sweet Helicopter" sit close to their wheelhouse but bite with sharper teeth, while songs like 'Maze Fancier' and 'Strawberries One and Two' bubble and scrape with the skeletal groove of Can or Neu! Then you get a weird as fuck song like "Night Crawler" with it's sinister synth that beds the tune in a blanket of crispy fried electronics, while the band dirges forth o'er top like Tubeway Army disguised as a doom band. It's safe to say we're all big Oh Sees fans over here, so this one was hotly anticipated and it does not disappoint. Plus BIG UPS for the creepiest artwork so far from a band that has it's fair share of creepy fucking album covers. Pull up a chair, take a toke or three and blast this one until you're suitably embalmed and lying in yer own "Floating Coffin".
