Thee Oh Sees: Floating Coffin Vinyl LP

2013 album from San Francisco psychedelic garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. According to frontman John Dwyer, Floating Coffin goes heavier and darker than previous efforts, reflecting the “mindset of a world that’s perpetually war-ridden.” This might not be obvious at first (though it’s pretty clear on “Night Crawler”), but it is certainly apparent on the driving undertone throughout. Probably their heaviest effort to date, with ’nuff in your face energy to still keep it fun. 10 tracks in all with trippy sleeve by Matt Brinkman and Dwyer.
