Less than five months after frontman John Dwyer told an audience at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall that they wouldn’t be seeing the band in action for a while, Thee Oh Sees have reemerged with their eighth full-length record in six years. Drop turns out to be the next logical step in the progression undertaken on 2013’s Floating Coffin and 2012’s Putrifiers II.

7.5 / 10

From the very first "Sweat Leaf"-channeling fuzz riff, there's no question what's being "dropped" on this latest dispatch…

For a band who've built a career out of letting their collective freak flag fly, Thee Oh Sees seem to be purposefully inching toward something resembling normality.

With rumours of a split now thankfully put to bed, John Dwyer and pals get back to doing what they do best: making ear-splitting garage rock that feels like the greatest idea anyone’s ever had.

<p>John Dwyer and cohorts give up on their supposed hiatus to drop off another set of beautifully broad-palette modern psychedelia, writes <strong>Tom Hughes</strong></p>
