Obligatory Oh Sees mention. I discovered them around the same time as Gizz. The Dream and I’m In Your Mind Fuzz converged in my mind, and both bands became parallel favorites.
The Gizzlike appeal for me is how much Osees transforms—more than just their trickster-god name changes. Psyche rock, hazy folk, krautprog, scumpunk, synthjams, and beyond: John Dwyer is sonically voracious and there really is something that can appeal to everyone.
I’ve seen them live four times, and the energy is incredible. A violent feast for pit-beasts like me. When they jam, Dwyer looks like he’s receiving the tunes from another dimension. Best moshpit experiences hands down.
Of course it depends on what you’re into, but if you want a nice compact assortment of their range, check out their Levitation Sessions. Otherwise I like to suggest anything from 2015-2018. I can safely say I love everything there, especially Orc and Mutilator Defeated At Last.
