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
It's funny how this collection of demos almost acts as a stepping stone in the folk sound between 2007's "Sucks Blood" and 2017's "MOACOH"; though the general focus changed, the firm roots of OCS never quite left
The "Dog Poison"/"Castlemania" jingle-jangle guitars are here in force ('Wait Let's Go'/'Say You Love Another') along with more traditional folk like 'Cat Food' and 'I Am Smoke'
Other curios here include the odd groovy synth on 'The Finger' and the gloomy and trudging 'Regular Meat'
