John Patrick Dwyer’s Thee Oh Sees are another prolific bunch– See also fellow San Fran’s Ty Segall– whose albums are always worth investigating due to the quality within them. Maybe less ramshackle than the group’s earlier work, but unlike when the majority of acts polish things up and smooth the edges something gets lost, all the while sounding uniform and personality-less, here Dwyer and crew keep a certain wonky-ness, a just left-of-center feel (again similar to Ty Segall).

So what we have with Putrifiers II is the lovably portentous, psych-abilly ‘Will We Be Scared’, the Django Django-like ‘Hang a Picture’– complete with high-pitched vocals and upbeat glam-fuzz– the tribal, campfire-hippie ‘So Nice’, and the supreme 60s garage-beat– including some of those crucial ‘bah-bah-bah-bah’s'– of ‘Flood’s New Light’. Putrifiers II doesn’t take itself too seriously, all the while just remaining the right side of whimsy.
