Thee Oh Sees: Castlemania (Coloured Vinyl 2xLP)

Psych-punk psychic warrior, ear worm-farmer, and possessor of many stamped passport pages John Dwyer does not let up. His group Oh Sees (aka Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) have transmogrified to fit many a moment - from hushed druggy folk to groovy demonic pop chants to science fictional krautrock expanse and beyond - to suit his omnivorous whims.

By Dwyer's own description, Castlemania is the band's "summery poppy" album. Castlemania finds the band introducing more baroque instrumentation to gild their swirling attack. The vinyl comes in a beautiful, colorful gatefold sleeve that houses this three sided double LP. The fourth side features an etching. Very swank indeed.
