Thee Oh Sees
Mutilator Defeated At Last
It has been a while since these ears have heard garage rock quite as explosive as John Dwyer's ninth album as Thee Oh Sees, Mutilator Defeated At Last. The psychedelic influences are ever-present, but massive rockers like "Withered Hand" and "Rogue Planet" are so walking-away-from-a-movie-explosion awesome that the already short runtime (just over 30 minutes) feels like a flashbang--one terrifying, stupefying instant followed by years of retinal burn and tinnitus. Perfectly paced and filled with surprising twists, Mutilator is a masterpiece of pummeling, frenetic distortion.
