■ Osees (fka Oh Sees and Thee Oh Sees) has released a preview of their upcoming, second Levitation Sessions series with a live performance of “Snickersnee,” off their 2019 album “Face Stabber” (via Castleface Records). Filmed in a factory in Los Angeles in 360 by Toy Robot Media, directed and shot by Brian Lee Huges and Brandon Kelly with sound engineering by Enrique Tena Padilla, mixing by Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer and Padilla and mastering by JJ Golden, the session will air on April 10. Tickets with an assortment of merch and vinyl bundles are available here.
The recording of the first session (originally aired on Sept. 26) is also available on Bandcamp and the video was released last week on YouTube (further below). Dwyer says the 16 tracks are “Lots of old favorites and seven never-before-performed live hits from the crypt.” With the same crew, the session was filmed outside Pappy & Harriet’s “dusk till dawn in Pioneertown, California,” and “meant to be played loud.”
