Description
Relentless momentum defines Oh Sees at this point in their evolution, and 'Orc' captures the band in a ferocious, fully locked-in state. Recorded during an especially intense touring period, the album channels the violence, sweat, and propulsion of their live shows into a tightly coiled studio document. The expanded rhythm section—featuring dual drummers—creates a shifting, muscular foundation that constantly pushes and pulls against John Dwyer’s serrated guitar lines. Basslines swing and strike with precision, while synths and effects add hallucinatory pressure rather than relief. The result is music that feels physical, confrontational, and in constant motion.
Across its ten tracks, 'Orc' balances brute force with hypnotic repetition, veering between pummeling garage-punk assaults and longer, motorik-leaning explorations. Songs stretch and mutate, driven by circular riffs and relentless grooves that flirt with krautrock endurance while retaining a raw, street-level aggression. Moments of melody surface briefly before being swallowed again by fuzz, distortion, and rhythmic churn. Despite its density, the album never feels unfocused; every escalation serves the larger surge forward. 'Orc' stands as one of Oh Sees’ most confident and punishing statements, a record that sharpens their chaos into something heavier, darker, and undeniably addictive.
