RIYL: zombie-rockabilly in the key of thrash

Thee Oh Sees - The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In

melting faces via
Tomlab records (2008)

A lot of bands mine the 1960's garage/psychedelia/pop sound these days, but few own that confluence as convincingly as San Francisco outfit Thee Oh Sees. For some disappointing reason, LaLa doesn't yet have their outstanding 2009 record, Help, which I'd argue is even stronger, so I've embedded (the already-excellent) TMBIWSANI. Not a bad place to start.

The band's quirky blend of spastic pop hooks and trippy guitar feedback may take some initial getting used to, but try "Enemy Destruct" (from Help), "Ghost In The Trees," or "Adult Acid" on for size and tell me you aren't feeling the love.
