Indie rock’s prolific psych-shredders Thee Oh Sees are ready to melt faces once again with their 11th full-length in eight years, A Weird Exits. Just over a year since 2015’s Mutilator Defeated at Last comes a record that wishes good riddance to the band’s short-lived devotion to sonic diversity. In one 40-minute swoop, Thee Oh Sees jam incessantly — and more often than not, wordlessly. Frontman John Dwyer amps up the fuzz and grit tenfold to best mimic the group’s renowned live shows, particularly on cuts like the ruthless “Gelatinous Cube” and amusingly titled “Ticklish Warrior.” Though Dwyer is always to credit for the band’s destructiveness, the double-drummer combo of Ryan Moutinho and Dan Rincon provide an extra oomph that brings the recording to life, even listened to on a pair of s**tty headphones.

In the rare pockets of A Weird Exits where face-melting isn’t the primary goal, Dwyer conducts sprawling hypnosis. “Crawl Out From the Fall Out” is the best example: a drowsy track that clocks in just under eight minutes, building up elements (a hi-hat, a bass, a guitar, another guitar, and some whispering) just to break them back down as the song winds to a close. Thee Oh Sees certainly specialize in loud, but aren’t afraid to dabble in calmer corners.
