Taking It Well Dec 11, 2020 By Caleb Campbell Web Exclusive
John Dwyer, frontman of the California psych-garage band Osees, has had a particularly busy year, even by his own standards. This year, Dwyer has put out releases with Bent Arcana and Damaged Bug and is nearing on his third 2020 LP with Osees,
Panther Rotate, out today via Castle Face (we premiered the stream of the album yesterday). The band’s latest record is a full remix of September’s dizzying punk storm
Protean Threat. In true Osees fashion, the band is also delivering on their famous live shows with a livestreamed performance from The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, California. Under the Radar caught up with Dwyer to discuss the livestream,

Panther Rotate Is Out December 11 On Castle Face Dec 10, 2020 By Caleb Campbell Osees
It’s not like Osees to take a break. After releasing September’s excellent
Metamorphosed, another album’s worth of songs from the
Face Stabber sessions, John Dwyer’s inventive garage psych band has returned with a full album of remixes entitled
Panther Rotate. The band’s newest record reinvents,
Protean Threat, one of their most straightforward punk releases to date, as a beguiling hypnotic set of completely new songs. Stream the full album a day early below.
Though
Protean Threat was weird and wild in all the best ways, it also was one of Osees’ most direct releases in recent memory.
so the record label, castle face, took to facebook to say they were cutting ties to dream machine and gave your standard cowardly the opinions expressed don t reflect us. what an unusual story. [cheers and applause] they re with us now. so, matt, it seems to me like it s all doris fault. are bow typing to are you going to keep her in the band? [laughter] it s all my fault. well, we found ourselves in an interesting scenario, to say the least. one thing he noticed when we were looking at the response is something just didn t seem to add up. on one side we were getting thousands and thousands of positive e-mails, response from people supporting us, labels, booking agents, all that. and on the other side, we didn t receive one single e-mail from somebody who had an actual grievance or wanted clarification or justification for anything we said.
