Thee Oh Sees have made a subtle name change - they're just Oh Sees now - and confirmed new album Orc.
John Dwyer & Co. have also unveiled lead single "The Static God", which you can stream above. Orc is the follow up to 2016's A Weird Exits and An Odd Entrances, and Thee Oh Sees/Oh Sees 19th studio record in total.
The San Fran band's brand change isn't exactly a shock - during their lengthy career, the outfit (in its various guises) has had a range of labels, including Orinoka Crash Suite, OCS, Orange County Sound, The Ohsees, and The Oh Sees.
Tracklist:
- The Static God
- Nite Expo
- Animated Violence
- Keys To The Castle
- Jettisoned
- Cadaver Dog
- Paranoise
- Cooling Tower
- Drowned Beast
- Raw Optics
Orc is out 25 August via Castle Face.
