A pop record for a tired time, this is how John Dwyer, tireless frontman of the Californian formation, presents his new album. Finally, a return to the verse / chorus, where early garage pop meets suicide-repellent punk proto-synth, evoking both Devo and Total Control with Dwyer's inimitable touch. John continues, “Everyone is welcome, start to finish…a distant, sizzling transmission of an 80s synthesizer tune for the last dance of the night, for your lost loves. Do you suffer from political amnesia? Tired of AI-generated pop? Then this album is for you, our friends. Wanderers of the desert, who stuck around. I love you all. A form of homecoming for fans of Teutonic synth punk and Thee Oh Sees, like a reconciliation with what made the Osees a legend of contemporary indie rock.
Osees play their new album Intercepted Message in its entirety on The Best Show. Recorded live at Forever Dog in North Hollywood. Intercepted Message is available starting August 18th via In the Red Records
