Thee Oh Sees - Warm Slime
Remember when everyone sang in a well drowned in reverb? It’s 2009 and San Francisco garage rockers Thee Oh Sees were iconic for that sound. I bought this from the now closed Polyester Records in Melbourne when it came out after hearing a on my local community radio station. They have a prolific back catalogue but I find it all starts to sound the same. This one and their 2009 release Help are my go to albums of theirs.
Unfortunately when I saw them live it was a bit shit – but I think that was more about surrounding circumstances then them per se. It was a stinking hot (like 45 degrees) and they were playing in a DIY art space basement. The local bands before had pissed me off, we went to go get a bite to eat and when we came back Thee Oh Sees had started early so I only got to see half the set, whilst dripping in sweat, with shitty sound and a very mixed crowd. The band, though were having a blast.
