about

RITUAL / HABIT / CEREMONY

An experiment in symphonic improvisation paired with synthesizer-scapes.
Strings, reeds, synths & hand percussion all blend sweetly into an odd landscape indeed.
The final touch was to bring aboard some singers I have loved over the years.
Im so pleased they were all willing to participate and Im very tickled by the plane we navigate.
Once YoshimiO agreed to be on board I knew we were going to be OK.
Recorded & mixed at my home studio (Stu-Stu-Studio in Los Angeles) and remotely, this one was a slow burn to see the light of day.
And here it is in its final crystal form. Celebrating the spaces between ritual, habit & ceremony. And all the parallels between.
The line is blurred.
This is occult adjacent strain of sound.
At home in daily ritual, contemplation & meditation.

The band is John Dwyer (synths, vocals) Heather Lockie (viola) , Thomas Dolas (synths) Andres Renteria (hand percussion), Brad Caulkins (tenor saxophone) , Kyp Malone (synths) & Archie Carey (bassoon)

The singers are YoshimiO (Boredoms, OOIOO), Albert Wolski (EXEK), Gracie Jackson ( GracieHorse), Ciriza (Artist Extraordinaire), Kyp Malone ( Bent Arcana, TVOTR, Rain Machine etc..), Brigid Dawson (Thee Oh Sees, The Mothers Network), AZITA ( Scissor Girls, Bride of NONO, AZITA)

For fans of Steve Roach, Eno, Syrinx, Howard Shore, Current 93, Terry Riley, Tangerine Dream and a proper sage scrub

Live at Henry Miller Library Big Sur

My favourite of the lockdown era livestreams. The Lev Sessions and Red Rocks ones are great too, but Big Sur made "Mutilator Defeated At Last" click for me after I'd struggled with it for a while - those versions of 'Rogue Planet', 'Poor Queen' and 'Withered Hand' are so good, as is 'Gholü' and 'Gelatinous Cube'. The encore of Black Flag covers bang hard as shit too. Also worth a mention are the bonus non-album Panther Rotate experiments at the start of the livestream; an interesting warm-up. Xtra Happy

This album will forever reminds me of the Cowichan Valley, driving back roads while the seasons change. Some real bang'n folky/acoustic metal riffs in here. The beautiful contrast between new and old Osees is quite phenomenal. Ky Ren/Aid An

Levitation Sessions II
by Osees

supported by 111 fans who also own “RITUAL / HABIT / CEREMONY”

Vol. II of the Osees' Lev Sessions is a perfect succesor; digs more oldies out of their ever-growing backcatalog and gives them a fresh coat of paint. Fan favourite 'Tidal Wave' starts things off strong before delving into garage nostalgia with 'The Dream', 'Enemy Destruct' and 'Destroyed Fortress Reappears'. 'Web' and 'Beat Quest' are also great, and it's cute to hear 'Spider Cider' too. The Chrome covers that end things off are really cool; 'SS Cygni' is a hell of a bop to end things off. Xtra Happy
