Bio

Osees (anciennement OCS, The OhSees, Thee Oh Sees et Oh Sees) est un groupe de garage rock psychédélique américain, originaire de San Francisco, en Californie. Il est mené par le multi-intrumentiste John Dwyer, figure de proue de la scène garage californienne. La formation n'a cessé de changer d'aspect au fil des années, débutée comme un projet solo freak folk au commencement des années 2000 pour dériver progressivement vers un son s'affiliant au garage rock avec la constitution d'un groupe à part entière (Brigid Dawson en pianiste/choriste, Petey Dammit à la guitare/basse et Mike Shoun à la batterie) aux alentours de 2007.

Salués pour leurs prestations lives énergiques et la régularité exemplaire de leurs enregistrements, Thee Oh Sees ainsi formés seront en activité jusqu'en 2013, année qui marquera une première pause. Un album est enregistré en solo, les instruments changent de main, et le groupe réapparaît en 2015 avec de nouveaux musiciens, dont deux batteurs en simultané. Malgré quelques changements de formation successifs, celle-ci demeure telle quelle.

Les albums sortis en 2018 et 2019 lorgnent vers le Rock progressif avec l'arrivée d'un nouveau membre aux claviers, Tomas Dolas. Puis en 2020, le groupe renoue avec le son garage sur trois nouveaux LP.

Osees is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1997, now based in Los Angeles, California. Originally the solo recording project of John Dwyer, the band has evolved through numerous line-up and name changes since its founding, with Dwyer serving as the band leader and primary songwriter throughout. Alongside Dwyer, the band's current line-up includes longtime members, Tim Hellman (bass), Dan Rincon (drums), Paul Quattrone (drums) and Tomas Dolas (keyboards). Keyboardist and backing vocalist Brigid Dawson has been a recurring band member and collaborator across its career.

The group's sound draws from a wide variety of influences, including garage rock, krautrock, psychedelia, and folk music. Osees are noted for their prolific recording output, energetic live shows, and off-kilter visual aesthetic. The group has released thirty studio albums, to date, alongside various EPs, singles and compilations.

Initially a solo freak folk recording project, Dwyer evolved the project into a full garage rock band, featuring Brigid Dawson (keyboards, backing vocals), Petey Dammit (bass, guitar), Mike Shoun (drums), and Lars Finberg (drums, guitar), while releasing the acclaimed albums, The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In (2008), Carrion Crawler/The Dream (2011) and Floating Coffin (2013).

After relocating to Los Angeles in late 2013, Dwyer changed the line-up of the band, with Sic Alps bass guitarist Tim Hellman and White Fence drummer Nick Murray replacing Dawson, Dammit!, Shoun and Finberg. Following the release of the band's sixteenth studio album, Mutilator Defeated At Last (2015), Dwyer and Hellman began touring with two drummers, Dan Rincon and Ryan Moutinho, replacing Murray. Touring extensively, this line-up recorded the band's seventeenth and eighteenth studio albums, A Weird Exits and An Odd Entrances, with Moutinho departing in late 2016 to focus on his own projects.

With the arrival of new drummer Paul Quattrone, the band recorded its nineteenth album, Orc, with co-producers Ty Segall, Eric Bauer and Enrique Tena. In late 2017, Dwyer reunited with Dawson for a primarily acoustic album, Memory of a Cut Off Head, which returned to the band's lo-fi roots, and featured several former and current Oh Sees members. After two studio albums featuring a heavy, progressive rock sound—Smote Reverser (2018) and Face Stabber (2019)—the band changed its name to Osees in July 2020, with the announcement of their twenty-third album, Protean Threat. The group continued to release prolifically under the new name, putting out Metamorphosed, alongside a remix album and an EP before the end of 2020. The band's thirtieth studio album, Off Course was released on 5 June 2026, which marks the return of Brigid Dawson since 2019's Face Stabber.
