Thee Oh Sees are probably the most productive band around right now. We know that’s debatable, but for real — seems like every time we blink they’ve got a new record on the shelf. That being said, their next full length record, Castlemania, is coming in a little over a month [May 17th] from In The Red. We went ahead and posted the artwork along with tracklist after the click down there, and you can sample all the tracks right here. From the mouth of Dwyer, it’s supposed to be a more “pop-y, summer-y record”. We’re down. It’s a 2xLP with an etching by  William Keihn on the 4th side. Oh and there’s a Creation cover. Fuck yeah. We caught them a couple times down in Austin during SXSW and they’re still definitely one of the best live bands we’ve ever seen. We also managed to snag a copy of a 2xLP that John Dwyer self-released on Castle Face that’s a compilation of singles and unreleased tracks that have accumulated over the last little bit. As of right now — you probably won’t be able to find it anywhere since we heard it’s sold out, but we’ve also heard there will be a repress so you can go ahead and wipe those tears away. It’s awful pretty. We’re working on getting them into town, but we’ll talk about that more later on. Here’s a track from the singles comp that was originally on a split 12″ with The Intelligence….
