It's been nearly a year since Thee Oh Sees released Warm Slime on In The Red, but they've finally announced plans for two new releases in the next six months. Look out for Castlemania on In The Red June 14 and something else that, according to John Dwyer is “maybe our best yet,” out in the fall.
Castlemania will supposedly be the most studio-arranged and layered recording from Thee Oh Sees to date, which comes in stark contrast to the live, one-day recording climate that brewed Warm Slime. Expect some wider instrumentation than the normal guitars/keys/drums that define the live setup, including flutes, horns, mellotrons, and “scorched bells and whistles.”
