Wild, excessive, and completely unrestrained, ‘Face Stabber’ found Oh Sees operating at full velocity, pushing their already expansive sound into even more unhinged territory. Released as a 17-track behemoth, the album embraced chaos as a creative principle, leaping between short, sharp bursts of noise and vast, free-form sprawl. From its opening moments, the record announced itself as maximalist and confrontational, driven by John Dwyer’s relentless energy and the band’s locked-in, hyperkinetic interplay. Rather than tightening their focus, Oh Sees chose saturation, turning excess into momentum.

Across ‘Face Stabber’, garage punk aggression collided with krautrock propulsion, freaked-out psych explorations, and sudden detours into noise and absurdity. Motorik rhythms stretched endlessly, riffs mutated and dissolved, and long-form jams spiralled outward with hypnotic intensity. The band shifted effortlessly from feral immediacy to sprawling improvisation, creating a record that felt less like a collection of songs and more like an unstoppable surge of ideas. Despite its scale, the album never lost its sense of fun or danger, capturing Oh Sees at a creative peak where risk-taking and confidence fed directly into each other. ‘Face Stabber’ stood as a definitive statement of the band’s anything-goes philosophy — loud, fearless, and gleefully overwhelming.
