They're rectifying that and first among these is The Cool Death of Island Raiders, a particularly dusty gem that merits another look. Kicking off the record with what should have been the hit of the summer that year but for the hard C in the title, \"The Gilded Cunt\" seems to clearly preface Oh Sees' later psych-skewed pop sensibilities. Chirping birds, gently lapping tempos and the nascent harmonization of Bridgid Dawson and John Dwyer detail a definitive highlight of their early quiet period of the band. The tree hangs heavy with Patrick Mullins' handiwork, manning the musical saw, drums, and an assortment of home made electronics. It seemed a bit radical to be so quiet about it, but the tunes are total ear-worms among the assorted drones, cut-up bits of tape noise, and mellow front porch-vibes, and the whole thing hangs together in a lovely hand-made way, helped in no small part by Dave Sitek's production (he would later work on Master's Bedroom as well). \"We flew Brigid out a fresh woman and literally sent her home on a plane with a trash bag of her clothes\" says Dwyer. Evidently the whole record was accidentally erased at some point right around when the photo on the back of the jacket was taken, which makes it all the more remarkable that the result sounds so casually and confidently careworn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gilded Cunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dumb Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLosers In The Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrone Number One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsland Raiders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroken Stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Are Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrone Number Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Oughta Go Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 647603404325\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Castleface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982891471069,"sku":"647603404325","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3901924.jpg?v=1762924332","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/oh-sees-cool-death-of-island-raiders-reissue","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
