Description

Second album released as Oh Sees by the ever-evolving John Dwyer. A Wild, weird and wonderful heavy psych work

Listen to Smote Reverser by Thee Oh Sees on Deezer.

With Smote Reverser, they make their most concerted attempt to reconcile those diverging impulses. The album is a predictably loud reaction to last fall’s Memory of a Cut Off Head, a stripped-down psych-folk pastorale (released under the OCS handle) that saw Dwyer sharing harmonies with singer Brigid Dawson. She lends her voice to this record as well, but don’t expect a return to the adrenalized corkers that defined the band during her previous 2010-2013 tenure with the group. Smote Reverser rocks out in a decidedly different manner than the band’s usual fuzz-pedal freakouts. Oh Sees albums have long reveled in the tension between the band’s aggression and Dwyer’s frisky, mischievous vocal style, but on Orc, it became evident just how well his voice sincerely lent it itself to the theatrical exposition of prog.

Smote Reverser is the twenty-first studio album by American garage rock band Oh Sees, released on August 17, 2018, on Castle Face Records. Paul Quattrone – drums, timbales. Additional musicians. Brigid Dawson – backing vocals. Tomas Dolas – B3 organ, Mellotron, Wurlitzer electric piano.

Released August 17, 2018. Smote Reverser Tracklist. 1. Sentient Oona Lyrics. 2. Enrique El Cobrador Lyrics.

Strip away the excessive noodling and ‘Smote Reverser’ could be up there as one of Dwyer’s best in recent years. Their latest, 'Smote Reverser,' is no different. The album treads a very fine line between Doors-inspired 70's rock and garage punk, occasionally delving into a more modern interpretation of psychedelic rock. The riff on "Sentient Oona" sets the tone early, as the song regularly bounces between a carefree, jamming.

Smote Reverser is undeniably an Oh Sees record, with all 20 years of the band's history coming through every note played and sung, but it feels like a huge step into something new that's sure to be just as exciting and unpredictable. ThereAnother very solid Oh Sees album. Overthrown in particular is a wonderful smack in the face and the rest of the album is great as well. There are, as usual, quite a few enjoyable psychedelic jams too. It's a bit longer than usual, but it's a fun listen from start to finish.

The album art for Smote Reverser looks like a death metal album cover. Why’d you decide to go with that for this one? I always wanted to work with someone who does pulp sci-fi record covers. Are there any genres or styles you’d really love to try working into the Oh Sees that you haven’t tried yet? Right now anything that’s super unhip. I’ve been really, really digging into a lot of European prog from the '70s.

Copies of this have reemerged on Castle Face USA now too
Buridora Buridora
My copy plays very well, indeed. It's the translucent yellow (actually somehow orange) version. Sounds fantastic.
Brariel Brariel
This record sounds ok but its most definitely warped. I’ve ordered 6 records from castleface, 3 of which were warped badly.
Ziena Ziena
No problems with my pressing; it plays and sounds great.
Anarius Anarius
Noticeable warps, scuffs and off-center labels on both records and I tried two different copies.. I don't think the record shop will give me a third try unfortunately. Other than the defects I do like the album. Cool artwork, photos on inner sleeves, lyrics sheet and download card.

Bought a copy the day it was released and all three sides skipped. Returned it and the exact same issue with the second copy. Pretty disappointed.

Actually available on merch on EU fall tour (purchased yesterday in France)

My black vinyl version does look very ordinary, indeed, if compared to all the fancy coloured versions. And maybe its resale value in the future will be impaired by this ordinariness. That said, it does sound excellent. In my opinion, this is the best release by this very proficient ensemble. So please go on complaining about the shitty quality of the coloured versions, for that will certainly raise the value of working black copies.

Anyone else have a missing download card? Mine doesn't have one included...
Zadora Zadora
Awww, amazing! Are you sure you won't use it? Thank you!!!
Painwind Painwind

Brand new double LP, sealed and everything, but I have a very persistent and disturbing clicking noise during a good half of the first song... Does anyone have that too ?
lucky kitten lucky kitten
yep i have it with the orange copy, fresh outta the package. its a bummer
lubov lubov
No. I would take it back, if you can.

As of now there are still copies available on Castle Face U.K. DO NOT let some one make a ridiculous amount of profit on a record that is still available!
Musical Aura Island Musical Aura Island
They're almost £40 with shipping for U.K. copies, probably £50+ for overseas. Not cheap at source by any means.
Naktilar Naktilar
$50 US with shipping tho.. :/ (more words words words)

These are still available. Get one while you still can!https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/music/oh-sees-smote-reverser

All gone... they disappeared quickly.I've seen a lot of bad feedback about the velvet smoke version (popping, warping, skipping), but my peacock version sounds great. A little bit of surface noise in the quieter parts, but nothing major. This is a great production/mastering job.
Sharpbrew Sharpbrew
Any word on pressing quantities on the three colored versions? Not that any of them are rare at all, I'm just curious.
Porgisk Porgisk
Peacock blood had 2,100 pressed (bronze/beer with red splatter). Velvet smoke had 1,500 pressed (clear with blue swirl). Yellow (USA indie pressing) had 1,600 pressed. The UK indie pressing is clear but I am not aware of the quantity, I believe it might be 1,500.

Nice to see Castle Face treating their fans well....NOT! U.K. price for the 'Mail Order Only Limited Editions' of Smote Reverser works out at nearly 40 quid each!!! Shipping is 12 euros + VAT, around £13, ships from Wales to the U.K......so £5 should be more than enough. These things used to sell out in hours, so hopefully the fact that these are still available over a week after announcement mean that people seem to have had enough of being fleeced.

Their prices have been the same for years. I think they are absolutely fair. They might be a tad bit higher outside of the USA but that might be because they come from Pirates Press, which is located in the USA, and have to be shipped internationally before they can even be sold from CF Europe or CF Australia. I think the quality of the music is worth the price and then some. Also, considering it’s no secret that John Dwyer is a charitable man, I doubt that there is much personal financial gain from these records. I have every variant of every Oh Sees album and I have no problem buying the indie versions from the UK. They are priced a little bit lower than the CF versions but usually are a solid color, which is cheaper to press. All I am saying is I hear you man... I am quite often broke from keeping up with the releases but I enjoy the work of John Dwyer and Oh Sees so much that I cannot be bothered by prices. Lastly, I think the higher quantities have scared away the flippers possibly, which is an amazing thing for us fans. When the records are not “rare” and the “rarest” variant doesn’t sell out in less than 10 minutes as usual most flippers probably don’t bother because they know they can’t beat the system. Everyone (in the USA at least) had about a week to buy whichever variant they wanted and that was amazing. I’m not hating on you at all, we’re all friends here, I just thought I would give my two cents. Hope you get a copy of the vinyl somehow and get to enjoy it!

I think one of the reasons it hasn't sold out as quickly for this record is because the pressing numbers are much bigger than before. Also, for the last few years, placing a UK order directly through CF it's always come to around 40 quid. They haven't raised prices.
Kalv Kalv
In answer to your suggestion, A) you can't buy these particular versions anywhere else other than from the CF website and B) seems like most people have decided to take this approach. Absolutely not against these guys making a decent living, and I enjoy supporting the artists direct and don't mind paying a bit more, but in this case it's significantly more than the headline price once extortionate shipping and tax have been added....the Ryanair of record labels in that respect I'm afraid.

CF is a pretty small operation. their shipping rates are high, yes, but then again we are talking about vinyl records and you could always A) buy it at your local shop or B) not buy it at all. I agree that those costs could come down, but then again I also don't mind paying extra $$$ to a band or a label, as opposed to giving it to the government or Amazon.com. I would be very surprised to find out that John Dwyer and Matt Jones are getting rich off this gig.
Foxanayn Foxanayn
I do totally agree. I thought shipping from uk would lower fees drastically but it s almost as expensive as if it were sent from the states...
